The Sports Ministry has issued a strong warning to suspended Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Sanjay Singh, stating that his recent claims regarding government recognition of WFI are baseless and mischievous. The ministry emphasized that WFI’s suspension for violating its own constitution means that any tournament organized by the federation will be considered unsanctioned. Sanjay had announced the Senior National Championship in Pune, but the ministry’s response makes it clear that the event will not be recognized. The WFI was suspended by the Sports Ministry on December 24, just three days after conducting its election, due to a violation of its own constitution. In response to the suspension, the Indian Olympic Association established an ad-hoc committee to oversee the day-to-day operations of WFI. The ministry has warned Sanjay that further unsubstantiated claims regarding the status of WFI may result in legal action. These claims have caused confusion and anxiety among athletes and others involved in wrestling.
