The United World Wrestling (UWW) has indefinitely suspended the membership of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) due to the federation's failure to conduct the necessary elections.
The WFI has been embroiled in a series of controversies, causing its elections to be postponed significantly. The federation, which is India's wrestling governing body, was supposed to hold elections in June 2023. However, the elections have been repeatedly postponed due to a series of protests by Indian wrestlers and legal petitions from various state units.

UWW, the world governing body for wrestling, has suspended the WFI for not conducting its elections on time, a development that will not allow Indian grapplers to compete at the upcoming World Championships under the Indian flag.
The Indian wrestlers will have to compete as 'neutral athletes' at the Olympic-qualifying World Championships starting September 16 as the ad-hoc panel, led by Bhupender Singh Bajwa, did not honour the 45-day deadline for conducting the elections. The wrestlers, though, can compete under the Indian flag at the Asian Games, starting September 23 in Hangzhou, since it's the IOA that has sent entries and not the WFI.

The elections for 15 positions on the WFI's governing body were scheduled to be held on August 12. On Monday, four candidates, including outgoing Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's close aide Sanjay Singh from Uttar Pradesh, filed nominations for the post of president at the Olympic Bhawan in New Delhi.


Darshan Lal of the Chandigarh wrestling body was nominated for the position of general secretary, while SP Deswal of Uttarakhand was nominated for treasurer from the Brij Bhushan camp.

The WFI was suspended first in January and then again in May after India's top wrestlers protested against its functioning and alleged its then president Brij Bhushan sexually harassed female wrestlers. The day-to-day affairs of WFI are currently being managed by the Indian Olympic Association-constituted ad-hoc committee led by Bhupender Singh Bajwa.
Notably, the United World Wrestling, the governing body of the sport at the highest level, warned WFI of suspension if the elections were delayed.
Maharashtra and Tripura will not have any representatives at the elections as the Returning Officer deemed claims of both factions from the former
“ineligible”, while Tripura has remained disaffiliated since 2016.

Misleading title :-)
 
Wrong title. The correct title is:

WFI MEMBERSHIP CANCELLED AS INDIAN PARLIAMENT REFUSED TO REMOVE MODI AND TO REINSTATE ARTICLE 370

:lol:

Do you coping poojaris realize that the only reason elections haven't been held is because wrestlers were protesting against the rapist Hindu nationalist BJP chief? That they still continue to protest because Modi-Ji decided to stand by the said rapist Hindu nationalist BJP chief? Should I not mention the context behind the story?

It should be renamed Rape Federation of India. :lol:
That should be the official name of their country tbh

Lol. He was set aside but elections were stayed by courts for a different reasons.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court issued a stay on the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections, which were scheduled for August 12, 2023. Here's a detailed explanation of the reasons behind the stay:

Legal Petitions from State Units: Various state units filed legal petitions, leading to multiple postponements of the elections. The elections were initially scheduled for June 2023 but were delayed several times.

Disaffiliated State Bodies: State bodies from Maharashtra, Haryana, Telangana, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh approached the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) ad-hoc panel for a hearing, claiming that their dismissal was not appropriate. This led to rescheduling of the polls.

Gauhati High Court's Stay: The elections were further stayed by the Gauhati High Court after the Assam Wrestling Association (AWA) sought the right to participate in the poll process.

Ineligibility and Disaffiliation: Maharashtra and Tripura did not have any representatives at the elections, with claims from both factions deemed "ineligible," and Tripura remaining disaffiliated since 2016.

Management by Ad-Hoc Committee: The day-to-day affairs of the WFI were being managed by an IOA-constituted ad-hoc committee, adding to the complexity of the situation.

So dumbo, your submission was entirely wrong. Brij Bhushan was set aside and he was even prodding others to elect his chela in the next election. This was stayed by courts for entirely another reason.

You mullahs think by supporting some women cause in India somehow magically make your shit country better? South Asian Muslims should first get their shit hole houses in order before going out to preach others. Lol.
 
We need to agree at a minimum these types of rats deserve nothing but to have their beds in sewers.
Don't go pronouncing judgments without giving a fair chance to both parties. The cases have been filed and let's wait till a judgment before making one ourselves.

So these successful athletes got tired of training and decided to randomly accuse a man?

Tribal politics shouldn't have a seat at the table.

They could be wanting him out and put someone favorable to them at helm. Sport board elections are all politics. You and I don't know the full facts, so let's wait till the judgement.

Also you being a Pakistani, an outsider to this whole thing have no say either way. Let us handle our mess. You have your own shit to deal with.

Can you agree on this:
