WFI blocking Vinesh while new mothers are helped worldwide in comeback, says Sakshi Malik

Sakshi Malik, who was also one of the prominent faces of the months-long protest against former WFI chief and BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused the federation of creating obstacles for Vinesh’s comeback instead of supporting athletes, in a video message shared by her on social media.

“In the last few days, the matter of Vinesh’s trials has propped up. The media wants to know my views. For the past 2-3 days, I was thinking about this because Vinesh also belongs to a political party. I am not related to any political party,” Sakshi said in the video posted on Instagram.

“I can give several examples where sports federations of other countries try to make everything easier for the athletes so that females can play for the country even after becoming a mother,” she said.
