Hamirpur (HP), Jan 20 (Agency) Union Youth welfare-cum-sports minister, Anurag Thakur said on Thursday that the ministry has sent a notice to the Wrestling Federation of India(WFI) to reply against the charges leveled by leading Indian wrestlers against its National President within 72 hours. Talking to a group of reporters, he said that whatever allegations have been made, they should be investigated. The reply from the wrestling association is awaited. After that further action will be taken. The Union Minister said that the government has taken this matter very seriously and that whatever allegations have been made, they should be investigated.
“The reply of the wrestling association is awaited. After that further action will be taken”.He said that “we have always been meeting with the players. Work has been done to bring transparency in sports. The work done to promote sports in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was never done in the last 75 years. The players also know how the central government worked.”On Rahul Gandhi’s allegation of suppressing the voice of opposition MPs in Parliament, Anurag Thakur said that in a way, Rahul Gandhi was accusing the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, which is not fair.
Everyone knows that even if a first-time MP comes to the House, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha has always given him time to speak. “Moreover, Rahul Gandhi was given more time than the stipulated time several times. “Anurag said that there are only a few MPs of the Congress party left in the Parliament, but the work of giving them more time than prescribed has always been done in the House. It is sad to make baseless allegations now, he said. The Union Minister said that if we find out the total time for which the House functioned and how much time Rahul Gandhi spent in the House, then Rahul Gandhi will come to know the truth.
