Haryana mla vinesh phogat

Haryana MLA Vinesh Phogat: Olympian wrestler and Haryana MLA Vinesh Phogat has taken the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to task for treating seasoned grappler Nirmala Boora "extremely unfairly" during the recent national trials. She claimed that Nirmala was not allowed to participate in the trials, and no reason was given for denying her the opportunity.

Vinesh, who has been at loggerheads with the national federation ever since leading a protest against former WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for allegedly sexually harassing young wrestlers. Though Brij Bhushan has been given a clean chit by a court, Vinesh and other protesters claim that no proper inquiry was conducted by the BJP government, as he belongs to their party.

On Saturday, Vinesh, who represents Julana constituency in the Haryana Assembly, took to social media to put out a statement in support of Nirmala Boora.
