The Union Sports Ministry has issued a strict warning to the suspended Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Sanjay Singh, over the committee's claims regarding the recognition from the government as well as absolutely baseless and mischievous claims of holding competitions. Sanjay had previously stated that the WFI will conduct the Senior National Wrestling Championship 2023 at Pune, Maharashtra from January 29 to 31.
In a letter addressed to the president of the suspended WFI body Sanjay Singh, the Sports Ministry reiterated that any tournament hosted by them would be considered unsanctioned and unrecognized competitions.
