The controversy surrounding wrestler Bajrang Punia’s protest against the Wrestling Federation of India’s recent election remains a hot topic, but Sports Minister Anurag Thakur declined to delve into the matter further. Speaking at the SAI center during an event honoring prominent athletes and inaugurating new facilities, Thakur refrained from commenting, stating, “I have already spoken enough. No more comments.”
Instead, he shifted the focus to celebrating India’s recent achievements in sports, particularly highlighting the significant medal haul in both the Asian Games and the Asian Para Games. Thakur emphasized the need to showcase these success stories and urged past champions to step forward and support budding athletes striving to make their mark on the international stage.
Expressing his pride in India’s athletes who secured over 100 medals in the recent competitions, Thakur encouraged former champions to contribute their knowledge and experiences. He called upon these veterans to play a crucial role in guiding and mentoring emerging talents, aiming to sustain and elevate India’s success in future competitions.
Thakur’s call for collaboration between established athletes and aspiring talents signals a collective effort to nurture and strengthen India’s sports ecosystem, ensuring a continuous surge in achievements on the global stage.
