"Brij Bhushan, who exploited women wrestlers, has again taken over wrestling. It is hoped that you [PM] will not just use women as shields, but will also do something to oust such oppressors from the sports institutions of the country," Vinesh wrote on X.

"After the government suspended the wrestling association, Brij Bhushan and Sanjay Singh kept giving statements that this suspension is just a show, we will be reinstated after a few days and we will have control over the wrestling association forever," Sakshi said.
