NEW DELHI: Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, facing criticism for accepting exemption from the Asian Games trials, expressed their disappointment at being dragged to court by young wrestlers.
However, they also acknowledged the positive aspect of the situation, seeing the junior grapplers standing up for their rights.
The controversy arose when the IOA ad-hoc panel granted direct entries to Bajrang and Vinesh for the Hangzhou Games, leading to an outcry in the wrestling fraternity.
