PM Modi praised Vinesh

Earlier, PM Modi praised Vinesh Phogat. He said, Vinesh, you are a champion among champions. You are the pride of India and an inspiration for every Indian. Today's setback hurts. I wish words could express the feeling of despair that I am experiencing. It has always been your nature to face challenges boldly. Come back stronger. We are all on your side.

What did the opposition say?

On Vinesh being disqualified, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said that there should be a thorough investigation of the technical reasons behind the discussion of Vinesh Phogat not being able to play in the final and it should be ensured what is the truth and what is the real reason behind it.

At the same time, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said that this is an insult not to Vinesh but to the country. Vinesh was going to create history in the whole world, declaring her 100 grams overweight and disqualifying her is a grave injustice. The whole country stands with Vinesh. The Indian government should intervene immediately, if the matter is not accepted then boycott the Olympics.

The Indian Olympic Association said that despite the best efforts of the team overnight, Vinesh's weight went a few grams over 50 kg this morning. There will be no further comment by the team at this time. The Indian team requests you to respect Vinesh's privacy. It would like to focus on the current competitions.
