On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the Congress MP wrote, “After defeating three top wrestlers of the world in a single day, today along with Vinesh, the entire country is emotional. All those who denied the struggle of Vinesh and her teammates, and even questioned their intentions and abilities, have got their answer.”
‘Champions respond from the field’
Continuing his attack, he further said, “Today, the entire system of power that made India’s brave daughter cry tears of blood has collapsed in front of her. This is the identity of champions, they give their answer from the field. Best wishes Vinesh. The echo of your success in Paris can be heard clearly till Delhi.”
