Digital Desk: On December 24, the Union Sports Ministry
suspended the newly elected body of the Wrestling Federation of India.
The decision follows the announcement by newly elected
president Sanjay Singh of U-15 and U-20 nationals to be held in Nandini Nagar,
Gonda (UP) before the end of the year.
Sanjay Singh, a close aide to deposed former WFI chairman
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, was elected as the Wrestling Federation of India's
new president on Thursday.
In an official statement, the Sports Ministry declared that
the announcement of national tournaments was premature and lacked an appropriate
process.
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections were held
on December 21, following several postponements earlier in the year. Sanjay
Singh's panel won the election with a 33-vote margin over the opposing panel.
Singh, a former member of the WFI's executive council, has
been the national federation's joint secretary since 2019.
Furthermore, the WFI elections, which were originally
scheduled for August 12, were postponed when the Punjab and Haryana High Court
extended the stay till September 25 at an August hearing on a case. The
federation, which is in charge of overseeing wrestling throughout the country,
had scheduled to hold elections in June of this year.
