Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has discussed the controversial decision to host the U-15 and U-20 nationals in Nandini Nagar, following the Indian sports ministry's suspension of the newly elected WFI. Singh, a lawmaker with the ruling BJP, argued that the decision was to ensure the continuity of sports events and prevent young wrestlers from losing valuable years. The sports ministry accused the governing body of hastily announcing championships.
