Will PM Modi invite Vinesh Phogat? The wrestler's success has heated up politics in the country
India's star wrestler Vinesh Phogat created history at the Paris Olympics. He secured a medal for the country by progressing to the finals in the 50 kg category. Vinesh's success has also heated up politics in the country. The opposition parties are attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has questioned whether Prime Minister Modi will call and congratulate me. Vinesh Phogat's silver or gold in Paris Olympics is certain, says Jairam Ramesh. Will the Prime Minister call him? Of course they should be congratulated, but more importantly should they apologize for the disgraceful incident in which the Delhi Police misbehaved with women wrestlers during their protest? Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi also issued a statement on Vinesh's victory, saying 'it made us cry tears of blood'. He said that the entire system of power has collapsed today in front of the brave daughter of India and it brought him to tears of blood. Those who denied the struggle of Vinesh and his colleagues, questioned their intentions and even their ability, until today X posted on X that the entire country is emotional with Vinesh as he defeated three of the world's greatest wrestlers in one day. This is the sign of champions, they respond from the field, said the Congress leader. Congratulations Vinesh. The echoes of your victory in Paris are clearly heard all the way to Delhi. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi posted on X before Vinesh made it to the finals, Well done Vinesh Phogat. I know it's not a tough Olympics for you. Not only did you defeat the number one player in the world, but also the victory of your struggle off the field.
