Earlier in the day, wrestler Sakshee Malikkh told the news agency ANI, “We will discuss the proposal given by the government with our seniors and supporters.

Dronacharya awardee, wrestling coach and uncle of Vinesh Phogat, Mahavir Phogat said, “This is very good. The Govt woke up after so many days and Anurag Thakur invited the wrestlers, so I would like to say that a solution must come out…”
