Olympian wrestler and BJP leader Babita Phogat issued a statement on her Twitter handle on Wrestler Sakshi Malik’s video, posted on Saturday, calling her a “Congress puppet”.
In the video posted yesterday, Sakshi Malik and wrestler Satyawart Kadian thanked Babita Phogat for supporting the wrestlers’ protest and serving as a mediator between the wrestlers and the central government in the video that was posted yesterday. Babita Phogat disputed the assertions made by Sakshi Malik and her husband in a tweet.
“Yesterday I felt very sad and laughed too when I was watching the video of my little sister (Sakshi Malik) and her husband, first of all I want to make it clear that the permission paper which was shown by her, I have nothing to do with it and neither it has my signature,” Babita Phogat wrote in her tweet.
“I have been saying from day one that have faith in the Prime Minister and the judicial system of the country, the truth will definitely come out. As a female player, I was always with all the players of the country and will be, but I was against the protest from the beginning. I had told all the wrestlers that you should meet Prime Minister or the Union Home Minister, and the solution will come from there only,” Babita said.She also alleged that Congress leaders are using the emotions of protesting wrestlers for political benefits. Babita also attacked Sakshi and called her a “Congress puppet”.”But you found your solution in @DeependerSHooda @INCIndia and @priyankagandhi, and others who themselves are guilty of rape and other cases, but the people of the country have now recognized the faces of the opposition. The opposition should now answer to all those soldiers, farmers and women wrestlers with whose emotions they have played for their political benefit.
