The ministry, in an official statement, cited the hasty announcement of national competitions without following proper procedures as the reason for the suspension.

Newly elected Wrestling Federation of India suspended by Union Sports Ministry; Here's the reason

The Union Sports Ministry on Sunday suspended the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and newly elected chief Sanjay Singh's presidency also stands cancelled.

The ministry, in an official statement, cited the hasty announcement of national competitions without following proper procedures as the reason for the suspension.

In the aftermath of Sakshi Malik hanging up her boots and Bajrang Punia returning his Padma Shri following the election of Sanjay Singh as the Wrestling Federation of India President, the Union Sports Ministry on Sunday suspended the newly elected WFI.
Brij Bhushan's close aide Sanjay Singh was recently elected as the WFI chief but his presidency also stands cancelled.
The Sports Ministry suspended the Federation after the newly-elected body made a "hasty announcement" of organising the U-15 and U-20 nationals "without giving sufficient notice to wrestlers" to prepare.
"The new body has not followed the WFI constitution. We have not terminated the Federation but suspended till further orders. They just need to follow the due process and the rules," a sports ministry official told PTI.
The source further explained the reasons for suspension.
"Sanjay Kumar Singh, newly-elected president of WFI announced on 21.12.2023, the day he was elected as president, that U-15 and U-20 nationals for Wrestling will take place in Nandini Nagar, Gonda (UP) before the end of this year.
"This announcement is hasty, without giving sufficient notice to wrestlers who are to take part in the said nationals and without following the provisions of the constitution of WFI.
"As per clause 3 (e) of preamble of constitution of WFI, object of the WFI, among others, is to arrange holding of Senior, Junior and Sub Junior National Championships as per UWW Rules at places selected by the Executive Committee," said the ministry's source.

The panel appointment comes 3 days after the Sports Ministry dissolved WFI and deferred its May 7 elections.

Sports ministry extended the deadline following requests from the committee members.

The Sports Ministry has extended the deadline given to the Oversight committee that's probing sexual assault allegations against Wrestling Federation of India President Brijbhushan Sharan Singh.
The MC Mary Kom-led panel that was earlier asked to submit its report in 4 weeks, has been given another 2-week extension and will now submit its report by March 9.&nbsp;
The committee responsible for the day-to-day functioning of WFI was formed after a sit-in protest by top Indian wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia &amp; Sakshi Malik, who were demanding the removal of Singh as the federation's president.
Since the formation of the committee, the top Indian wrestlers have not competed at the international meets, missing the Ranking Series events in Zagreb and Alexandria.
Meanwhile, wrestling's governing body UWW has reportedly taken away the hosting rights of the Asian Championship from India, citing a complaint from the top wrestlers.&nbsp;

Big boost for Sports Ministry in Union Budget

The Union Budget 2023 brings up a big boost for the Sports Ministry in terms of revised allocations

The ministry's flagship programme, 'Khelo India -- National Programme for Development of Sports' continues to be the government's priority, with it being allotted Rs 1,045 crore.

&nbsp;In a year when the Indian athletes will compete at the Asian Games and prepare for 2024 Paris Olympics, the Sports Ministry has got a fillip with the government allocating Rs 3,397.32 crore, an increase of Rs 723.97 crore, in the Union Budget on Wednesday.
The amount is more than the revised budget of the previous financial year (2022-23) when the ministry received Rs 2,673.35 crore, as against the actual allocation of Rs 3,062.60 crore.
One of the reasons for the reduced revised allocation for 2022-23 could be the postponement of the Hangzhou Asian Games, which will be held this year.
An increase of Rs. 439 crore for Khelo India has brought the sports budget to a new high of Rs. 3,397.32 crore. Khelo India&rsquo;s budget of Rs. 1,045 crore accounts for just under a third of the total allocation as well.

Ministry has no plans to reconstitute the 5 member oversight committee which will probe the allegations against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Singh

The government is unhappy with the behaviour of the wrestlers after they openly expressed their disappointment over the formation of the oversight committee, Sports Ministry sources said. &nbsp; The source told PTI that the ministry has no plans to reconstitute the 5 member oversight committee which will probe the allegations against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Singh and overlook the day-to-day activity of WFI.
As per reports, the protesting wrestlers consider the London Olympics bronze medallist Yogeshwar Dutt, one of the members of the committee, close to the WFI president.
Wrestler Bajrang Punia, however, later clarified that while the grapplers wanted a member of their choice on the committee, they don't have an issue with Yogeshwar. They expected to be consulted before the members were finalised, he added.

After the Sports Minister revealed the names of the five-member oversight committee, wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat tweeted that they were not consulted in the formation of the panel

After the Sports Minister revealed the names of the five-member oversight committee, wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat tweeted that they were not consulted in the formation of the panel

The fresh offensive from grapplers Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik hasn&rsquo;t gone down well with the Sports Ministry, given three of the five member picks of the oversight committee were based on wrestlers' suggestions.
According to a Times of India report, Ministry sources claim that during the first round of discussions with Sports Minister Anurag Thakur, wrestlers themselves suggested the names of Mary Kom, SAI's former executive director (teams) Radhica Sreeman and ex-TOPS CEO Rajesh Rajagopalan.
The report further states that the wrestlers weren't happy with the choice of London Olympics Bronze medallist Yogeshwar Dutt, who is also part of the five-member Oversight Committee.

Protest a 'conspiracy to create such adverse atmosphere in public to create undue pressure': Wrestling Federation of India

The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has rejected all the allegations, including that of sexual harassment against its president Brijbhushan Sharan Singh.
In a letter written to the Sports Ministry, the wrestling body said the protest at Jantar Mantar was a 'personal, hidden agenda' of wrestlers.
'The protest is not in the best interest of the Wrestlers nor for promoting good Wrestling in India, but it has some personal as well as hidden agenda to dislodge the current fairest and strict management of WFI,' the wrestling body said in its response to the Sports Ministry.
Responding to the charges of mismanagement, WFI wrote they 'are managed by an elected body as per its constitution, and therefore, there is no scope for arbitrariness and mismanagement in WFI by anyone individually, including the president.'
