Olympic wrestler Sakshi Malik has claimed that Babita Phogat of the Bharatiya Janata Party was the one who motivated wrestlers to start the protest against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, aiming to take over his position as president of the Wrestling Federation of India or WFI, India Today reported.
Babita Phogat approached us with the idea of protesting against Brij Bhushan Singh because she had her own agenda — she wanted to become the WFI president,” India Today quoted Sakshi Malik as saying.
