Khap Panchayat On Vinesh Phogat: On Sunday, many Khap Panchayats of Haryana came out in support of female wrestler Vinesh Phogat. These Khap Panchayats demanded justice and Bharat Ratna for Vinesh Phogat. In fact, Vinesh Phogat was disqualified in the final of the Paris Olympics recently due to being 100 grams overweight. However, Khap Panchayats (on the basis of caste) held a ‘Sarv Khap Mahapanchayat’ in Charkhi Dadri, Haryana. These Khap Panchayats appealed to Vinesh Phogat to reconsider her decision of retirement from wrestling.
Sangwan Khap chief Sombir Sangwan said that the entire matter should be investigated by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court and Vinesh Phogat should get justice. He also pointed towards a conspiracy. He asked in a questioning tone that how did the weight increase suddenly? There were many people with her and it was their responsibility to ensure that her weight did not increase. While reading out the demands of the Khap, Sangwan said that in view of Vinesh’s achievements, she should be awarded the Bharat Ratna.
