00:00Vinesh was and will always be a champion in the eyes of the whole country.
00:07The government is asking for a clarification from the government,
00:10exactly what happened there.
00:12The country would like to know about the government's statement,
00:16what has happened to Vinesh.
00:17He could have won the Olympic gold in this.
00:20So what was the reason that while reaching there,
00:23suddenly how did the weight increase?
00:26How did it increase? How did it let it increase?
00:29Didn't anyone pay attention?
00:31Did they leave our poor girl like that?
00:59I don't know how such a thing could have happened,
01:01whether our coaches were found wanting in terms of ensuring
01:05all the right rules and limits were adhered to.
01:08I don't know.
01:09But the fact is that to me the sad thing is that all her efforts
01:14did not get the reward that she deserved.
01:16And instead we are now looking at a sad outcome
01:20of what was otherwise a very happy story for all of us in India.
01:24But she will always be in our hearts as a symbol of courage,
01:26a symbol of fortitude and somebody whose ability is beyond question.
01:30The government is asking for a clarification from the government,
01:33exactly what happened there.
01:35The country would like to know about the government's statement,
01:39what has happened to Vinesh.
01:40Only 100 gram was...
01:42Yeah, details. We are getting reports like that.
01:44Very sad moment for us.
01:47But we are very proud of her.
01:49Very proud of her. Country is proud of her.
01:51Let us explain from the government.
01:53The Indian Olympic contingent will explore all possibilities of appeal
02:00and redressal, whichever is permitted as per the protocols of the Olympic movement.
02:05But it is rather unfortunate if she is disqualified.
02:08This is beyond understanding.
02:11Our team, our supporting team, management, coaches,
02:17what were they doing?
02:19How did the weight increase?
02:20Did you leave them completely at that time?
02:23One thing after another is observed.
02:26These are Olympics.
02:27Wasn't this taken seriously?
02:30So the Indian team which was managing,
02:33which was watching,
02:34they...
02:35Our star,
02:37who is going towards winning a medal,
02:40we could have won Olympic gold in this.
02:43So what was the reason that while reaching there,
02:47how did the weight increase suddenly?
02:49How did it increase?
02:50How did you let it increase?
02:52Did no one pay attention?
02:54Did you leave our poor girl like that?
02:57So what is the reason for this?
02:59The Indian government,
03:01our Olympic management,
03:05will have to answer this.
03:07How could a girl who was going to win,
03:10who has worked so hard,
03:11who was dragged to the streets,
03:13and reached here,
03:15fighting for the country,
03:17how did you let such a situation arise with her?
03:22We will have to answer this.
03:24This is for the whole country.
03:26This is for the whole country,
03:27for the women athletes,
03:28for all the athletes.
03:29This can happen to anyone.
03:32So why wasn't this seen in detail?
03:35This evening,
03:36in the final bout of Vinesh,
03:38I was waiting to win a gold medal.
03:44So at such a time,
03:46when the news of disqualification came,
03:49the whole country was in shock.
03:51All of us are in shock.
03:54Everyone has a pain in their heart.
03:57Everyone is sad from the bottom of their hearts.
04:01But Vinesh,
04:02in the eyes of the whole country,
04:05was a champion,
04:07is a champion,
04:08and will always be.
04:10He worked very hard
04:13to reach this final.
04:17He worked to make our country proud.
04:20When all the athletes were practicing
04:25and were on the mat,
04:27he was sitting on the platform of the protest
04:32to bring justice to the women athletes.
04:36For months,
04:37he left his practice
04:39and fought to bring justice to the women athletes.
04:42When all the athletes were practicing,
04:45he worked hard to reach this point.
04:48In the eyes of the whole country,
04:51he has become a true champion.
04:54I would also like to say that
04:56in the three bouts yesterday,
04:59in the three bouts yesterday,
05:01according to their underweight category,
05:04their weight was right.
05:07So all three bouts were right.
05:10In such a situation,
05:13those who have qualified to the finals,
05:16they should be considered for silver.
05:23When our Olympic Association
05:26talked about this,
05:28they also talked about this
05:30in front of the National Olympic Association
05:33that when they have won three bouts
05:35in the right weight and in the right way
05:37and have reached the finals,
05:39they should be considered for silver.
05:49This should also be discussed
05:51in the National Olympic Association.
