Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken with IOA President PT Usha about Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Paris Olympics, urging a strong protest. Vinesh, disqualified for being slightly overweight before her 50kg gold medal bout, had been praised by Bajrang Punia as the "lioness of India" who was set to "conquer the world but lost to the system." India has already filed an appeal. PM Modi expressed support, calling Vinesh a "champion among champions" and encouraging her to come back stronger, emphasizing her resilience and inspiring nature.
