Former Indian female wrestler Vinesh Phogat has been in the news for a long time. On the day of the final match of 50 kg wrestling at Paris Olympics 2024, he was found to be slightly overweight and was disqualified. After this she broke down. In such a situation, had he received a call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi? The answer is- yes. Vinesh Phogat herself has revealed this, but she did not talk to PM Modi. The reason behind this was that she wanted to record whatever was discussed with the Prime Minister. When Indian officials did not accept this condition, they refused to talk.
Vinesh Phogat told in an interview to Lallantop, “I had received a call (from Prime Minister Narendra Modi). I refused. I did not receive a direct call, but I had received a call from the Indian officials who were there. He said that PM Modi wants to talk, he said that no one of yours will be with him, one will shoot the video and the other will get it done on social media. Will go. When I asked if he would go on social media, I said sorry…”
‘Demands accounts for two years’
She further said, “I will not make fun of my emotions… my hard work… on such social media. If they really sympathize with a player then they can talk without recording. I will be very thankful.” Perhaps he knows that whenever he talks to Vinesh, he will definitely demand an account of the two years of protest (dharna, beating and allegations against WFI Chief). Will only do the recording. He can cut it at his level, but I will not cut it, I will put the original. When we discussed, he refused that this will not happen.
Let us tell you that about two years ago he had opened a front against the President of Wrestling Mahasandh. She and many women wrestlers had made serious allegations against the then Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Sinch. After this, she had a clash with the police and remained on strike for months. After this he qualified for Paris Olympics. Even after losing in 53 kg during the National Camp in a single day, he then qualified for Paris Olympics through 50 kg weight category. Where she had reached the medal in this category, but was disqualified due to being overweight. After this she retired from wrestling and is now contesting the Haryana Assembly elections.
