The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is set to challenge the Sports Ministry's suspension in court next week, following alleged violations of the National Sports Code and WFI constitution. WFI President Sanjay Singh rejected the suspension issued on December 24, emphasizing the need for a well-functioning federation. Criticizing the ad-hoc panel's decisions, Singh highlighted the absence of trials for certain wrestlers and the ensuing representation gaps in the Zagreb Open. Expressing concerns from wrestlers about fair chances, WFI called for an Executive Committee meeting on January 16 to address the situation and discuss constitutional provisions. The federation is determined to contest the suspension democratically through legal means.
