‘I was already saying that all the wrestlers are motivated. These people are trying to defame me by making allegations against me. If I speak on-camera on Sakshi Malik’s book, her book will sell well. That’s why I shouldn’t say anything on-camera. which they
.
This was said by former BJP MP from Kaiserganj and former national president of the wrestling association, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in Gonda on Tuesday.
On Brijbhushan’s statement, winner Sakshi Malik said – My fight against Brijbhushan continues, the case is going on in the court. My stand is still the same. I am not greedy for anything.
He said- Joining Congress is Vinesh’s personal decision. We also have evidence, so where is the lie in this? It is absolutely wrong to say that the protests were started because they wanted to join the Congress. I am happy that I am working for railways and sports. I am not greedy for any position. Nor am I greedy for politics.
Actually, the controversy has started after the revelations in the autobiography ‘Witness’ of Haryana’s Olympian wrestler Sakshi Malik. In this, Sakshi Malik claimed that Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia got exemption from the trials of Asian Games-2023 out of greed. Due to which the image of the wrestler movement was tarnished by the protest against sexual harassment against BJP MP Brij Bhushan, former President of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).
Brij Bhushan’s talk on Sakshi Malik’s book in the first 10 points
Brijbhushan Sharan Singh said- The wrestlers had started the movement out of greed at the behest of Congress.
1. It was BJP leader Babita Phogat who got the permission.
Brijbhushan Sharan Singh said- The wrestlers had started the movement out of greed at the behest of Congress. The wrestlers themselves did not take permission for this, BJP leader Babita Phogat had given it to them. Babita Phogat had lured these people that if we become the president of the wrestling association or if Deependra Hooda becomes the president, then we will rule the wrestling association. But, we did not let this happen. If we had resigned from our posts, these people would have succeeded in their objective. I had said in the beginning itself, I will not resign after becoming an accused. If this matter ends today, I will go and resign in front of the country tomorrow. I am not greedy for the post of president in the wrestling association.
2. Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat wanted relaxation in sports
From the beginning, I was against restricting the rights of junior players. These people had agitated against me regarding this. When I started protesting too much, these people conspired to defame me and end my career. Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat were wanting relaxation in every game. These people wanted the wrestling association to do whatever they wanted, but it did not happen. I don’t know whether Sakshi Malik had sent the mail or not. He had personally asked us to exempt these two people from trials for the Games, but we had refused him too.
3. The movement of these people is motivated by selfishness
When these people sat on strike against me for the first time, for a day people felt that there was some truth in the matter. But when I came forward and gave a statement to the media on the entire matter, people started feeling that the movement here was being carried out for selfish reasons. There is no truth in this. Gradually, leaders of the Congress Party also started joining the movement of these people. It was the Congress party leaders who met Babita Phogat and asked these people to sit on the dharna.

Brijbhushan Sharan Singh said- Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat also wanted to become the president of the wrestling federation.
4. Sakshi Malik was involved in the entire conspiracy
The matter of protecting Sakshi after going to Jantar Mantar was not known. She had prior knowledge, she is lying. These people were preparing to protest a month in advance. I was aware, but not in such a way that these people would make false allegations against me.
I also know the name of the place where these people met Congress leaders and Babita Phogat and made a strategy for this movement. We will reveal that also when the time comes. Right now the matter is going on in the court. No one had called anyone by phone. These people were asked to protest by Babita Phogat, Deependra Hooda, Bhupendra Hooda, Bajrang Punia.
5. Babita Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia also wanted to become president.
Not only Babita Phogat wanted to become the president, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat also wanted to become the president. Many times these people also discussed this matter with the junior players, if Brij Bhushan steps down then we will become the president. You will listen to people. But junior players said, Brijbhushan Singh is fine for the president. We will not support you people.
Babita Phogat had joined Bharatiya Janata Party because she wanted to capture the Indian Wrestling Association. But BJP did not support him. Because ever since I became the President of the Wrestling Association, I have done a lot of work regarding wrestling. Bajrang Punia wanted to become the president because he used to work on the instructions of Deependra Hooda. Deependra Hooda wanted that the post of Indian Wrestling Association President should be removed from Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and on this pretext we would win the Haryana elections.

Brijbhushan Sharan Singh said- Some big industrialists and some BJP leaders are also behind this conspiracy.
6. Some industrialists and BJP leaders are also involved in the conspiracy of the movement.
Not only Babita Phogat, Deependra Hooda instigated these wrestlers to protest against me, some big industrialists and some BJP leaders are also behind it. Those people don’t like me. They thought that this would come out of BJP and we would establish our dominance. But, we did not do any such work that the party would show me the way out.
I am a 7-time MP. I do not do anything that tarnishes my image and that of the party. I already knew that it was Babita Phogat and Tirtha Rana who had given permission for the movement. Later these people had said that the wrestlers will not sit on the dharna, we will sit on the dharna against the Congress party. But instead of sitting on strike against the Congress Party, these people sat on strike against us. These people, along with Babita Phogat, defamed the Bharatiya Janata Party and tarnished the image of PM Modi.

Brijbhushan Sharan Singh supported Sakshi Malik’s statement.
7. Vinesh Phogat was out of the game when she gained excess weight.
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh supported Sakshi Malik’s statement and said- There was no conspiracy with Vinesh Phogat in Paris Olympics. Vinesh Phogat is trying to defame the Indian government by falsely accusing it. If the weight was not only 10 grams, but even 5 grams more then the World Wrestling Federation would not have given permission to play. Vinesh Phogat did not do any work for weight loss, she directly worked to defame the Indian government. When they knew that even if the weight was too much, they would be thrown out. Why did he gain weight?
8. Exemption was taken out of greed and by applying forceful pressure
When these people started the movement against me, the government also came under pressure. Because, these were the wrestlers of the country and out of greed and by putting pressure on the government, they got exemption in Asian Games 2023. But these people were not successful and we had also opposed this exemption. Junior wrestlers also protested. But the Indian government did not listen to us.

9. Babita Phogat talked to us several times for a compromise
When these wrestlers were sitting on strike against me, Babita Phogat was batting from both sides. First the wrestlers were given permission to sit on strike. When they sat on strike, she kept calling us repeatedly asking for a compromise. Babita Phogat was saying that you leave the post of president, the whole matter will end. You are being insulted, the party is being insulted. But we did not listen to Babita Phogat and I said – I will not resign when we have not done anything wrong. Babita Phogat also got angry with us regarding this matter. Then for the second time he instigated the wrestlers and organized such a huge movement.
10. Wrestlers were running the adhoc committee
During the movement, the Sports Ministry had banned and suspended the activities of the Indian Wrestling Association. After this, the Government of India constituted an ad-hoc committee to oversee the work. The adhoc committee doesn’t even know the ABCs of wrestling. These wrestlers were running that committee, running the Indian Wrestling Association.
We refused several times and only then did the interference of these people end. Otherwise the careers of junior players would have been ruined by now. In this whole matter, the junior players did not support these protesting wrestlers, because they knew that Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh would never let anything wrong happen to them.
Now read first the 4 big revelations made in Sakshi Malik’s book…
1. Vinesh-Bajrang got exempted from trials due to greed Sakshi Malik said- WFI was suspended after the wrestlers’ agitation. The adhoc committee started looking after the work. Which exempted Bajrang and Vinesh from the 2023 Asian Games trials. I was also asked to mail, but I refused. Some people influenced Vinesh-Bajrang. Due to which they started talking about getting exemption from trials for sports.
Bajrang and Vinesh’s exemption from trials did not have a good effect. This badly affected the image of our protest. Due to this, we reached such a situation in which many supporters started thinking that we are doing this protest for our own selfishness.

From right, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat sitting during the movement in Delhi.
2. I went to Jantar Mantar and came to know that people are going to protest. Regarding the performance of the wrestlers, Sakshi Malik said- We had a meeting at a place 3-4 days before the protest. Then I got a call from Babita Phogat asking if I was coming. When I called Bajrang, Bajrang said that I am also going, you also come. Then we came to know that we were going to hold such a protest and its permission was given by Babita Phogat and Tirtha Rana.
He wanted Brij Bhushan to move and one of us to sit there. We were happy that the girls got justice. We expected that we would sit at 11 o’clock and our hearing would be done by 1 o’clock, but the movement continued for a long time.
Sakshi Malik said – We have definitely done this much that if someone does sexual harassment then he will think 100 times whether he too should go and protest. Our fight was for our sisters and daughters. This was to end the phenomenon of sexual harassment in sports.

Sakshi Malik has made many revelations in her book.
3. There was no conspiracy with Vinesh in the Olympics Sakshi Malik said that there was no conspiracy with Vinesh in the Paris Olympics. Even if it is 10 grams more, let alone 100 grams, the rules of United World Wrestling (UWW) do not allow it. It is true that Vinesh cut her hair to lose weight. Costume shortened. I also cried several times that day after seeing Vinesh.
4. When the tuition teacher teased me, I felt it was my fault. Sakshi said- The teacher who gave me tuition in my childhood molested me. I couldn’t tell my family about it, because I felt it was my fault. During my school days, the tuition teacher used to harass me. He would call me to his house at untimely hours to take classes and would sometimes try to touch me. I was scared to go for tuition classes, but I couldn’t tell my mother.
