Vinesh Phogat News: These days, one name is most discussed in Haryana politics—Congress MLA from Julana and Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat. Recently, the Haryana government announced to give her an amount of Rs 4 crore and a plot, after which there was a ruckus on social media. Questions were raised, trolling started and there was a flood of criticism. But Vinesh Phogat is not one of those who sit quietly.A befitting reply to trollersFamous for her outspokenness on social media, Vinesh gave a direct reply to the trollers through a Facebook post. She wrote—"Those who tweet for Rs 2 and those who give free knowledge... listen carefully, I have rejected offers worth crores till now. From soft drinks to online gaming, I have never traded my principles."This was not just a reaction, but a declaration of her struggle and life based on principles. She clarified that whatever she has achieved, she has done it with hard work and honesty, and she is proud of that."Rights are not snatched, they are won"Vinesh further wrote,"I am the daughter of the land where self-respect is dissolved in the mother's milk. I have learned from my ancestors—rights are not snatched, they are won."These words of hers not only reflect confidence, but also have a message that those who struggle do not need anyone's mercy.Phogat vs Phogat: Family dispute also in the headlinesAn interesting turn came in this entire controversy when her cousin and BJP leader Babita Phogat also commented. Babita said that if she too had got such facilities 15 years ago, then perhaps she would not have been forced to leave the sport.
- Vinesh did not take this statement of Babita lightly. She gave a sharp reply on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote—
- "Now you keep quiet. Sit in a corner and do what you are best at... cry, cry, cry!"
