Union Sports Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya welcomed the Delhi High Court’s decision to revoke the Wrestling Federation of India’s (WFI) suspension, saying it was important for Indian wrestlers to compete in big forthcoming events like Asian Championships and World Wrestling Championships.
Mandaviya, while interacting with reporters on Tuesday, said Indian grapplers missing out on these events would be grave injustice to them. “Without recognition, they couldn’t have gone to these events. That is why our country’s wrestlers had to face injustice,” he said.
