Narendra Modi ji, let us also know real truth of women power: Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik urge PM to oust Brij Bhushan from sports | Sport-others News
Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik has urged Prime Miner Narendra Modi to do something in order to oust someone like Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh from the field of sports. This comes after the IOA’s decision to hand back wrestling’s adminrative control to the Wrestling Federation of India after dissolving the ad hoc body.
“The Prime Miner is a spin master, knows how to spin the issue invoking ‘women power’ to counter the speeches of his rivals. Narendra Modi ji, let us also know the real truth of women power,” Vinesh posted on X.
“Brij Bhushan, who exploited women wrestlers, has again taken over wrestling. It is hoped that you (PM) will not just use women as shields, but will also do something to oust such oppressors from the sports institutions of the country,” she added.
प्रधानमंत्री जी स्पिन मास्टर हैं, अपने प्रतिद्विंदियों के भाषणों का जवाब देने के लिए “महिला शक्ति” का नाम लेकर बात को घुमाना जानते हैं.
नरेंद्र मोदी जी, हम महिला शक्ति की असल सच्चाई भी जान लीजिए. महिला पहलवानों का शोषण करने वाला बृजभूषण फिर से कुश्ती पर काबिज हो गया है.… https://t.co/PrPuBwqP2X

Meanwhile, Sakshi Malik said that the WFI office-bearers were acting as if they were above the law.
“Hory is witness to the fact that powerful people in this country have played with the honour of women for centuries,” she said
“…the rich miscreant is so powerful that he is above the government, the Constitution and the judiciary. After the government suspended the wrestling association, Brij Bhushan and Sanjay Singh kept giving statements that this suspension is just a show, we will be reinstated after a few days and we will have control over the wrestling association forever. This proved to be true and this letter from the Indian Olympic Association officially confirmed this and proved that even in this new India, the age-old tradition of insulting women will continue,” she further said.
On Monday it was learnt that Sanjay Singh – a close aide of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the BJP MP accused of sexually harassing women athletes – will assume full charge of the Wrestling Federation of India.
This came after the Indian Olympic Association announced it would dissolve ‘with immediate effect’ the three-member ad-hoc committee, formed under the instructions of the government after it suspended the Sanjay-led WFI executive committee.
The development means the rules that could make or break the Paris Olympics ambitions of Bajrang Punia and Vinesh, the two wrestlers at the forefront of protests against the WFI and its former president Brij Bhushan, will be taken Sanjay, whose election they opposed.
