Sports Ministry Revoked WFI's Suspension As Per High Court Order: Mansukh Mandaviya
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya said the suspension of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) was lifted following an order by the Delhi High Court for the better future of wrestlers.
"As per the High Court order, the ministry decided to lift the sanctions so that our wrestlers can participate in the Asian and World Championships. This also gives justice looking at the future of our wrestlers," Mandaviya told reporters on Tuesday.
The ministry lifted its suspension on the WFI on Tuesday, giving control back to president Sanjay Singh, who is a close aide of former federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh - the BJP MP accused of sexually harassing women wrestlers. The decision also allows the WFI to hold domestic tournaments and select national teams for international tournaments.
