NDTV
Top athletes said the Centre must have stepped in earlier and taken strong action against the WFI for violating the sports body's rules, instead of waiting for athletes to announce they are quitting or returning the Padma Shri
Top athletes have welcomed the Sports Ministry's move to suspend the newly elected management of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), but they also said the action came late. खेल मंत्रालय ने भारतीय कुश्ती संघ को निलंबित कियाभले ही देर से पर एक उम्मीद की किरण ज़रूर जागी है की पहलवानों को इंसाफ़ मिलेगा !!!! भाई छोरी की कुश्ती छुड़वा दी छोरे के पद्म श्री ले लिया अब बोले की फेडरेशन रद्द करदी 🙄 यो काम पहले ही कर देते
They said the Centre must have stepped in earlier and taken strong action against the WFI for violating the sports body's rules, instead of waiting for athletes to announce they are quitting or returning the Padma Shri.
The newly-elected WFI under Sanjay Singh, a loyalist of sex-harassment accused Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, had made a hasty announcement of organising the Under-15 and Under-20 nationals without giving sufficient notice to wrestlers, which violated the WFI's constitution.
