Decision to suspend WFI taken under pressure: Opposition leaders

Opposition leaders criticize government's decision to suspend Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), questioning the election of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's loyalist, Sanjay Singh. The sports ministry suspended WFI for organizing tournaments without following due procedure and not giving sufficient notice to wrestlers. The ministry's actions are seen as a farce and insufficient justice for wrestlers who made complaints of sexual harassment against the former WFI chief. The BJP is accused of diverting attention from the outrage caused by the election of Brij Bhushan's loyalists.
