Did Vinesh Phogat lie? Harish Salve's claim about the Paris Olympics and PT Usha created a sensation.

Vinesh Phogat had recently claimed that the Indian government deliberately did not help her after she was disqualified from the Paris Olympics. She also alleged that Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha had come to her only to get a photo taken. Her claim has now been termed wrong by former Solicitor General of India Harish Salve. Salve, who fought Vinesh's case in the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), has recently claimed in an interview that the Indian government had no role in this matter. Because the IOA has to work independently of the government. As soon as the government interferes, the association is expelled.

Did Vinesh lie?

After being disqualified from the final match in Paris, IOA challenged Vinesh Phogat's case in CAS. CAS had given the verdict against Vinesh, justifying the decision of the International Olympic Committee. Now Harish Salve has claimed that IOA wanted to challenge this decision in the Swiss court. But Vinesh herself denied it. This claim of Salve has created a sensation. Vinesh is being accused of lying.

Vinesh created a stir by defeating Japan's world one Yui Susaki in the first round of the women's 50 kg category in the Paris Olympics. After this, she also won her quarter-final match easily and made it to the final by defeating Cuba's Guzman Lopez in the semi-finals. She became the first Indian female wrestler to reach the Olympic final. But before the final, her weight was found to be 100 grams more than the prescribed limit, after which she was eliminated from the final.

Mahavir Phogat expressed displeasure.

Vinesh Phogat's childhood mentor and her uncle Mahavir Phogat have expressed displeasure over her contesting the elections. While talking to the media, he said that Vinesh should have contested the elections after the 2028 Olympics. At present, she should have focused on winning a gold medal for the country in the Olympics. Vinesh's decision to contest the elections has hurt the fans a lot.

Assembly elections are to be held in Haryana from October 5. Meanwhile, Vinesh Phogat recently joined the Congress party. Congress has given her a ticket from the Julana Assembly. Vinesh had targeted IOA President PT Usha and the Government of India amid the election season, accusing them of not helping, after which there was an uproar. She claimed in an interview that PT Usha came to meet her after she fell ill in Paris. After this, she clicked a photo without asking and posted it on social media.
