Proposal for direct selection rejected.. Sakshi Malik’s statement, criticism of decision taken to divide wrestlers

New Delhi: ‘I was also directly offered a place in the Asian Games team. However, I did not accept it.

In this background, the testimony of Brijbhushan Sharan who was directly involved in the agitation against Sinu is important. ‘We are directly sending the entry of Bajrang and Vinesh’s name to the Asian Games. If I also want direct access, I was advised to send an e-mail to that effect. However, I refused,’ said Sakshi Malik in an interview given to a private news channel. “We could not practice because of the agitation. Therefore, we requested the temporary committee to conduct the selection test after August 10. Accordingly, they showed readiness to give us time. That is why we started the practice. I was offered direct admission. However, I do not accept it. Every time I have faced a test before getting a place in the Indian team. Sakshi also said that she will join the Indian team only after testing in future.

Every athlete dreams of winning a medal in the Olympics and Asian Games. However, this opportunity is being denied to some players. The demand that Bajrang and Vinesh should also be on trial is right. He has my support.
