WFI rejects allegations, calls protest a conspiracy to malign image

Like the president earlier, the reply also called the entire episode a “conspiracy”. Country’s top wrestlers staged a sit-in protest against the WFI chief at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi until the matter was resolved through a meeting with the sports minister late on Friday. The protesting wrestlers said they were satisfied with the assurance given by sports minister Anurag Thakur and would end their protest.

The reply the ministry had sought from WFI has been dispatched as well. According to the reply available with this newspaper, WFI rejected claims of mismanagement and sexual harassment levelled against Singh. Olympic medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, World Championships medallists Vinesh Phogat and Anshu Malik were among wrestlers who raised these issues plaguing the federation.

In its reply, WFI said that it “brings to the notice that neither the management nor any office bearers of WFI allows any arbitrariness and mismanagement of WFI nor prefers any undue acceptance of unreasonable request of any wrestlers or otherwise.”
