Former wrestler Babita Phogat, who is associated with the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party, on Sunday, hit out at wrestler Sakshi Malik and her wrestler husband Satyawart Kadian over their statement that their protest against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was not politically motivated. She also alleged that they (protesting wrestlers) become a puppet in the hand of the Congress.

In a long Twitter post, Phogat slammed wrestlers, who staged months-long protest against WFI chief over sexual harassment charges by the grapplers, saying the letter showed by the husband-wife duo did not have her signature on her name.

"Yesterday I felt very sad and laughed too when I was watching the video of my younger sister and her husband, first of all I want to make it clear that the permission paper that younger sister was showing did not have my signature or my name anywhere on it. There is no proof of consent and neither is it remotely my concern," she wrote in the Twitter post.
