Latest Sports News: From the wrestling mat to the political arena, the war of words continues between some of India’s most respected wrestlers. The real reason behind Vinesh Phogat’s empty-handed return from the Paris Olympic Games 2024 after her disqualification has become a hotly debated topic.
The wrestler, who had declared quitting the sport following the disqualification of her, has announced that he will go ahead with contesting for the Indian National Congress as it is looking to regain power in the state by winning a majority of seats before next year’s election scheduled in Haryana. But fellow wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, who too has shifted to politics, was reportedly not amused by the decision of Vinesh and felt she should have apologized to the entire country for costing them a medal.
During a chit-chat on AajTak, Yogeshwar went all out hard against Vinesh over her activities, be it the Olympic Games or the protests that she was at the center of during the past year or so.
“She has her preferences but the country should know the truth. Whatever happened in the country over the last one year, be it her disqualification from the Olympic Games or the protest. When the new parliament was to be inaugurated, the country’s image was painted in an incorrect manner,” the London Games bronze medallist said.
Speaking about the episode of disqualification in the Paris Games, Yogeshwar said with a shock that Vinesh had actually started crying conspiracy and even threw in the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the saga.
“Since she was disqualified from the Olympic Games, she should have apologised before the entire nation, say that she made mistakes. But instead, she termed it a conspiracy, even blamed the Prime Minister of the country. Everyone knows that the disqualification is just even if the weight exceeds by a single gram.”.
“She created wrong atmosphere in the country. Even during the protests, people were asked to gather in the wrong way.
“If speak just about the Olympics, despite costing India a medal, false perception was created that something wrong happened with her. If I was in Vinesh’s place, I would’ve apologized to the country,” he said.
