While the whole country is reeling in shock about the disqualification of Vinesh Phogat there have been egregious, snide comments by Saina Nehwal, Hema Malini and Kangana Ranaut all BJP card holders regarding the famed wrestler who has won accolades for India on many international fora. Even American freestyle wrestling legend Jordan Burroughs, a six time World Champion and Olympic gold medallist demanded that Phogat be awarded a silver medal, moreover he suggested a change of rules so that justice is ensured to future participants caught in similar situations. What is particularly numbing is that when Phogat's plight was being discussed in Parliament, the sports minister Mansukh started reeling out the lakhs spent on the wrestler's training by the government of India instead of showing empathy for Vinesh. This is not all, 12 'officials' of the suspended WFI including the alleged sex offender, BJP's bahubali MP Brijbhushan's close aide Sanjay Singh were enjoying a holiday in Paris at taxpayer's expense. How were these BJP people disguised as WFI officials touring Paris when the association is still suspended ? Will the partisan media dare question the BJP about this. Shame on the insensitive sarkar.
