While welcoming the suspension of the newly-elected Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on December 25 said the Sports Ministry ought to have taken the decision earlier.
Speaking to reporters in Pune, the NCP patriarch said that the move should have come much earlier following complaints of objectionable conduct towards women wrestlers.
“The decision [to suspend the WFI] should have been taken earlier. There was a complaint about objectionable conduct towards women wrestlers. So, this decision against such elements ought to have been taken long back. But though delayed, I welcome the decision,” he said.
