00:00What do you have to say about Abhinesh's relegation?
00:03It's a very sad thing for the country and for our region, for Haryana, it's a very sad thing.
00:11Look, it was the final match, the gold medal was confirmed for the country.
00:16And now the silver medal, and the three brothers who are sitting, they should get it for sure.
00:22The government should try to give the silver medal for sure.
00:26Do you ask the government to give it to them?
00:28Yes, we ask the government to try to give them the silver medal for sure.
00:35Because they have lost weight in the last three fights.
00:38If they had lost weight, they would have disqualified them.
00:42They have lost 100 grams of weight.
00:44What can I say? We were preparing for the gold medal.
00:48It's a very sad moment for us.
00:51And we don't know about the weight.
00:57But the fight that took place earlier, something should be done about it.
01:03So, the way it has been disqualified, there must be some disappointment in the village as well.
01:08Not in the whole village, there is disappointment in the whole country.
01:12So, what do you ask from the WFI and the government?
01:15We ask the WFI and the government to do the same.
01:19The fight that took place earlier, something should be done about it.
01:23It's a very sad moment for us.
01:25The way the fight that took place earlier, they have lost weight in the last three fights.
01:31And now they have been disqualified.
01:33So, at least they should be given the silver medal for their weight in the last three fights.
01:41And now they have been disqualified.
01:43It's a very sad moment for us.
01:45I would like the federation to do something about it.
01:48What do you expect from the government?
01:50What I expect from the government is that the fight that they have won, at least they should be given the silver medal.
01:55I don't have anything left to say.
02:00The whole country's faith was on the gold medal.
02:04And now they have been disqualified.
02:10I am sad for my parents, but I am sad for the whole country.
02:20The whole country was hopeful that they would get the gold medal.
02:24And now they have been disqualified.
02:26I am sad for the whole country.
02:28Is there a rule that if you gain 100 grams of weight, you will be disqualified?
02:34The day I found out that I would be disqualified, I spoke to the Sangita.
02:38She told me that 150 grams of weight is useless.
02:42That's why I was disqualified.
02:44There is hope somewhere.
02:46The federation and the administration will decide.
02:54The fight that they were fighting, it's all in their hands.
02:58Shouldn't the federation or the government intervene?
03:02What rule have they made?
03:06Are they disqualifying or not?
03:10The federation will decide.
03:18No government can do anything about it.
03:20Only the people who are fighting can do anything.
03:24What would you like to say to the people of the country?
03:28The people of the country were hopeful that they would be disqualified.
03:34Everyone is sad.
03:36But I believe that they will continue to work hard.
03:42And they will get medals for the country.
