Wrestler Vinesh Phogat Calls On Hoodas In Delhi
Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda: Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who missed out on an Olympic medal in Paris after she was disqualified for being overweight hours before her final bout in the 50 kg category, on Friday met Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda and his father and two-time Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda along with her wrestler husband Somvir Rathee at the Congress leaders' residence here.
The meeting took place amid the call given by Bhupinder Hooda to nominate Vinesh Phogat to the Rajya Sabha for her contributions to wrestling. There were also speculation that the Congress is mulling to field Phogat for the Assembly elections scheduled in Haryana on October 1.
However, when asked the same during an exclusive conversation with IANS on Thursday, Bhupinder Hooda said, "That is a hypothetical question. No discussions or talks have taken place with me on this matter. She should be nominated to the Rajya Sabha as a mark of respect.”
