Yogeshwar Dutt, the bronze medallist from the London Olympics, believes that Vinesh Phogat ought to have expressed regret to the whole nation for disqualifying her from the Paris Games.
Some of the most respected wrestlers in India are still engaged in a verbal brawl that has moved from the wrestling mat to the political ring. Due to her disqualification, Vinesh Phogat’s empty-handed return from the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris has generated a lot of conversation. Ahead of the next Haryana elections, the wrestler, who had declared his intention to retire from the sport following her disqualification, made the decision to become a member of the Indian National Congress. Yogeshwar Dutt, a fellow wrestler who has transitioned to politics, believes Vinesh ought to have apologized to the whole nation for depriving them of a medal.
In a conversation on AajTak, Yogeshwar harshly criticized Vinesh for her involvement in the Olympics and the demonstrations she spearheaded over the previous year or so.
“She may have her own tastes, but the nation needs to know the reality. Everything that has occurred in the nation in the past year, including the protest and her disqualification from the Olympics. The bronze medallist from the London Games said, “The country’s image was painted in an incorrect manner when the new parliament was to be inaugurated.”
Speaking on the Paris Games disqualification incident, Yogeshwar said he was shocked that Vinesh began to accuse people of plotting, even tying Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi into the story.
