New Delhi, 7th August. Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his support and confidence in wrestler Vinesh Phogat following her disqualification from the Paris Olympics on Wednesday. Shah acknowledged that the setback had dashed the hopes of millions of Indians but affirmed his belief that Phogat would return stronger.

“Vinesh Phogat’s setback in the Olympics has certainly broken the hopes of millions of Indians. She has a brilliant sporting career, shining with the glory of defeating the world champion,” Shah wrote on social media platform X.

“This misfortune is merely an exception in her trailblazing career, from which I am sure she will bounce back to be the winner she always is. Our best wishes and support are always with her,” Shah added.

Phogat, a prominent figure in Indian wrestling, has a history of remarkable achievements, and her fans, along with the nation, remain hopeful for her future endeavors.
