New Delhi: Wrestler Vinesh Phogat lost her medal because there was a conspiracy against her over her protest against former BJP MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, Congress MP Balwant Wankhede claimed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the 50 kg Olympics wrestling finals because she was overweight by a few grams. She will not receive the silver medal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very sad news for us. There is some conspiracy behind this. The entire country knows she was protesting at Jantar Mantar\u2026 she did not get justice and now if she wins, they would have had to honour her which some people might not have liked,\u201d the MP claimed, per PTI.<\/p>\n
Vinesh Phogat was one of the several international wrestlers who protested against the controversial politician at Jantar Mantar over sexual harassment allegations against him.<\/p>\n
Brijbhushan Sharan Singh was removed as the wrestling federation chief. He was not fielded by the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls. However, his son won the polls from his seat on the party\u2019s ticket. Singh later said the ticket to his son was a sign of the party\u2019s support to him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
