President Sanjay Singh of the suspended Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) plans to engage in dialogue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Sports Ministry's decision to suspend the newly elected WFI. The Ministry claimed the new body operated under the former office-bearers' influence. Singh expressed readiness to explore legal options if dialogue fails, emphasizing that decisions were consensus-driven. He stated, "We will explain that we have followed rules... It was not my personal decision," highlighting the need for smooth federation operation. Wrestlers protested Singh's association with Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of harassment. Singh defended their bond, stating, "There has been a bond and friendship from that time between us."
