Their personal choice, says Sakshi Malik

With Olympians Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat joining Congress Friday, Olympic medallist wrestler Sakshi Malik said the move was solely the personal choice of the two athletes and that she herself wont be taking a political plunge as she wanted to further the cause of women in wrestling.

"I also got several political offers," Malik said, adding that she refused to take them up because she says she "believes in staying true to my fight for women in wrestling."

"From my end, the agitation continues... Unless the Wrestling Federation is cleaned and the exploitation of women ends, my fight will continue," she said.
