Wrestling Federation Controversy: Claim No. 1...


Haryana lobby has become weak in the last ten years

According to a senior official of the Wrestling Association, the haryana lobby has been very strong in the indian Wrestling Association. Earlier haryana used to dominate most of the posts related to the team support staff from inside the Wrestling Federation of India. But in the last 10 years during the tenure of Brij bhushan Sharan Singh, this dominance of the haryana lobby has ended. He said, in an attempt to regain this supremacy, the case of wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar has become 'Haryana vs All India'. To strengthen his point, he cited Haryana's wrestlers being at the forefront in this whole matter and Deepender Hooda standing vociferously in their support.

In the year 2012, Brij bhushan Sharan Singh became the President of the wrestling association for the first time by defeating congress MP Deepender Hooda. Brij bhushan had also called the wrestlers sitting on dharna at Jantar Mantar as puppets of Deepender Hooda. In support of his point, the official of the wrestling association cited the statements of the wrestlers sitting on the dharna, in which there was only a demand for the resignation of Brij Bhushan, but later the demand for the dissolution of the entire wrestling federation, including all the state wrestling associations, was included.
