KD Jadhav Should Be Awarded Padma Vibhushan; I’m Ready To Write To Authorities: WFI Chief Sanjay Singh
Kusteeveer Khashaba Jadhav Foundation: Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Sanjay Singh has backed calls for legendary wrestler Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav to be posthumously conferred with the Padma Vibhushan, following recent developments in the Bombay High Court regarding the matter.
The Kolhapur bench of the High Court, comprising Justices Madhav Jamdar and Pravin Patil, has directed the Union government to take a final call on the issue by May 4. The directive came during the hearing of a Public Interest Litigation filed by the Kusteeveer Khashaba Jadhav Foundation, an organisation established by the late wrestler’s son, Ranjeet Jadhav.
The petition has sought fresh consideration from the Ministry of Home Affairs’ Padma Awards Cell for awarding the Padma Vibhushan, the country’s second-highest civilian honour, to Jadhav in recognition of his historic contribution to Indian sport.
