There is no end to controversies in Indian wrestling with IOA ad-hoc committee, led by Bhupender Singh Bajwa, rejecting the entries sent by the Rajasthan State Wrestling Association for the Goa National Games after asking the same state body to conduct selection trials.
The matter has now reached the Delhi High Court, which has sought a clarification from the Rajasthan High Court before passing an order.
The IOA ad-hoc panel, which is still running the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), had sent a circular on September 29 and then issued a revised a circular on October 5 regarding the selection criteria for the wrestlers.
The circular e-mail was marked to IOA, National Games Technical Conduct Committee (GTCC) also had Ummed Singh-led Rajasthan State Wrestling Association, which has been recognised by the Rajasthan Olympic Association, in the mailing list. “After getting the circular from IOA, we conducted the trials on October 10. The selected wrestlers have even made their travel arrangements. What do we tell the wrestlers now,” Ummed Singh said.
