Political undercurrents marked Phogat’s roadshow as parties brace for assembly polls. Vinesh’s cousins too skip event, target her for forgetting Mahavir Phogat in her gratitude note.
Cheers and showers of flower petals at roadshow attended by hundreds as India welcomes home a champion. Don't want her to retire from wrestling, says Vinesh's mother Premlata.
Last week, Phogat was disqualified hours before her final bout against USA's Sarah Hildebrandt, who went on to secure the gold medal in women's 50kg freestyle wrestling in Paris.
The 29-year-old wrestler was disqualified from the women's 50kg free-style final for being 100gm overweight at the time of weigh-in Wednesday last week.
From Sushma Swaraj and Mamata Banerjee to Vasundhara Raje, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, and Zeenat Aman, women who challenge male authority are immediately shunned.
Haryana's Khap panchayats want 'justice' for the wrestler disqualified from Paris Olympics. Ex-deputy CM Dushyant Chautala has also called for Phogat's nomination to Rajya Sabha.
The country missed out on 6 potential medals by a close margin, with athletes like Lakshya Sen, Mirabai Chanu and Manu Bhaker finishing fourth in their respective events.
Ahead of Haryana polls, AAP says BJP is responsible for injustice to Phogat & Congress says it would have made her Rajya Sabha MP. Comments to gain political mileage, says BJP.

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
It’s sick of Congress to use Vinesh’s misfortune for electoral benefit. What is immensely more tragic is that the likes of Hooda will just use Vinesh and her tragedy for their selfish interests. Once her political utility subsides, they will leave her high and dry.
Vinesh will be left alone in the end.
Deepender Hooda is a shrewd politician. Amongst the Congress young guns he seems to be the most clever. And he is also renowned as someone steeped in casteism and patriarchy, irrespective of whatever he says in the Lok Sabha.
Him and others of his ilk will simply milk Vinesh for votes. Once done with her, they will discard her unceremoniously.
