If we do not get justice, then we will take this matter to the court.
In the press conference, Vinesh Phogat said, ‘It should be understood how important each day is for the players. I want action to be taken as soon as possible. We should not be forced to see black days. The Prime Minister should take cognizance of this. He said, ‘Brij Bhushan Singh is saying that he will resign. He will have to resign. Bring the Speaker in front of me, if he talks to me for two minutes looking into my eyes, I will agree. They ruined the career of the girls of UP, now they are spoiling the career of the girls of rest of the states. If action is not taken against them, we will file an FIR with the police. We should leave our wrestling and come here.
