From our Sports Correspondent

Vinesh Phogat today decided to return her Khel Ratna and Arjuna award to the Prime Minister, saying such honours have become meaningless when wrestlers are struggling badly for justice, aggravating the crisis that has gripped the sport.

Vinesh Phogat, the two-time World Championship medal winner, announced her decision in her letter penned for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In the letter posted on Social Media, Vinesh Phogat said their lives are not like those “fancy government advertisements” that talk about women empowerment and upliftment.
