Newly-elected WFI president Sanjay Singh on December 28 said that the sports ministry did not follow "proper procedure" while suspending the wrestling national body and will challenge the government's decision in a court.
The Sports Ministry on December 24 suspended the WFI, three days after its elections were held, for flouting its own constitution while taking certain decisions, including the announcement of U-15 and U-20 National Championships.
Sanjay, however, said that the "autonomous" and "democratically elected" body could not have been suspended by the government without hearing the WFI's side of the story.
