Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann reached Vinesh Phogat’s village. She missed the gold medal in the Olympics. She qualified for the gold round on Tuesday. She was playing in the 50 kg set. Her weight was 100 grams more and hence she was disqualified from the game. CM Bhagwant Mann said that this should have been strongly opposed.
Bhagwant Mann said that the advertisement says that Modi Ji stopped the war, then why did he not stop this, where injustice was done to our daughter. Will Vinesh get up at night and weigh herself, or is this the coach’s job? What to do before the match in the morning, what to eat, what to eat and then sleep at night, all this is the job of her physiotherapist. The Wrestling Association of India should have opposed this.

‘The gold medal almost came home’
Bhagwant Mann said that the chief of the Indian Olympic Association is sitting there, what did she do, she could have filed an application. It would have provided some solace to the family. She just told them that we have been disqualified. CM Mann said that her coach must have been saddened that his student missed out on the gold medal. The gold medal almost reached home.
They say the war in Ukraine was stopped, then why couldn’t this be stopped?
In response to a question whether India should have opposed it, Bhagwant Mann said that it should have been strongly opposed. What can we do now? We should have protested earlier. He said that in the advertisement it is said that Modi Ji stopped the war in Ukraine. Why didn’t he stop this, where injustice was done to our girl.

Bhagwant Mann denies any conspiracy
Regarding fixing responsibility, Bhagwant Mann said that who was responsible in the wrestling association earlier. Why did our girls go to throw their medals in the Ganga. Did anyone fix the responsibility? This girl is playing Olympics after coming from a small village. What do they think of us? Our children are winning medals. Don’t they want our children to succeed in this? He has denied any conspiracy. On the question of conspiracy, he said that I will not say anything on this.
