New Delhi, December 24: Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Sunday said he is "done" with the sport and the newly-elected body will now take care of it as he has many more responsibilities to look into, including next year's Lok Sabha elections. Brij Bhushan's comments came soon after the Sports Ministry suspended the WFI till further orders after the new body made a "hasty announcement" of organising the U-15 and U-20 nationals "without following due procedure and not giving sufficient notice to wrestlers" for preparations.

The ministry also said the new body was working under "complete control of former (WFI) office-bearers", which was not in conformity with the National Sports Code. The WFI elections were held on December 21 with Brij Bhushan's loyalist, Sanjay Singh, and his panel winning the polls by big margins. "Whatever has to be done with regards to wrestling in India, it has to be done by the new elected body," Brij Bhushan told PTI. ‘Sanjay Singh is Not My Relative’: Former Wrestling Federation of India Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Suspension of Newly Elected Body of WFI (Watch Videos)

"I have nothing to do with the sport now. I have other responsibilities to focus now. I will be away from politics of this sport," he added. Brij Bhushan is a sitting BJP MP from Kaiserganj in Uttar Pradesh. The top wrestlers of the country -- Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik -- had led the agitation against Brij Bhushan after accusing him of sexual harassment against female grapplers.
