I think India is probably the only one country in the world where the Govt itself played such a dirty politics to put down an internationally acclaimed wrestler like Vinesh

[SanjitDas-fh]

How PT Usha has been behaving and commenting is completely disgraceful.

[ka]

Lawyer Rahul Mehra kudos to your honest brave factual opinion 👏✊👊

[chandrapandit]

P.T Usha was busy eating Golgappas in India House!

[crigzin]

She’ll remain the golden girl of India forever.. medal or no medal❤🎉

[rubiovaz]

Vinesh Phogat has won our hearts not only in India but the whole world. She is now most famous the way she our Super Lady.
She is our darling ♥ and valuable sports women on planet.
She should be given highest award for her valiant fights.
God protect her and be with her.

My respect to Vinesh reached the sky 🙌
Lost all trust in the sports federations & the government who is enabling 😬
I really pray Vinesh gets justice 🙏
Thank you Mr Mehra for supporting Vinesh at this juncture 🙏

[dayaprahlad]

Vinesh- you are the champion, undoubtedly ❤

[wassuphomies]

all the experts in this comment section who are not supporting vinesh phogat and are trying to find justification for GOI and IOA's failure are the real traitors of the nation.

[preetagopal]

What about the way Vinesh got herself selected at the cost of Shivani Pawar?

[tritamjoarder]

Mr. Advocate you should claim the investigation from INTERPOL😂😂😂😂

[muditjain]

The sports minister should be dismissed by PM. The whole government is culpable

[SP-qolr]

IOA won the medal for their efforts ensuring Vinesh not get a medal

[rupajain]

We salute Vinesh Phogat ! In our eyes you are a winner .

[saumitratripathi]

Extremely disturbing to know the filthy politics. Shame !! To settle their personal scores, they have successfully robbed India of a medal. Had they followed the process and allowed her in the 53 kg, India would have had 7 medals this time.

[dialogvrk]

PT Usha must be made responsible for the troubles took place. She is IOA supremo. Her statement is absolutely senseless.

[dialogvrk]

The system must be broiken apart and recast. Very poor performance my IOA.

[vijayak]

I was surprised how Saina Nehwal speaks about another athelete

[shambhusharan]

Great salute to Vinesh and thumps to Lawyer Rahul Mahra to make us aware of facts.
