Wrestler-turned-politician Vinesh Phogat, now with Congress, called for sedition charges against those who celebrated her Olympic setback, stating, "They disrespected the nation." After her first political rally in Julana, Haryana, Phogat responded to former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s claim that her Olympic failure was divine punishment. Disqualified from the Paris Olympics for being overweight, Phogat emphasized that her medal represented the nation, not just herself. She criticized BJP leaders for their lack of support and expressed gratitude to Congress for standing by her during difficult times.
