Bahot Khushi ki baat hain. Mera support pahle bhi thaa, aaj bhi bhain aur kal bhi rahega [It’s a great news. My support was there earlier also, even today and will remain tomorrow]. Go win for me and the country,” Sushil tweeted.

“[It’s] very unfortunate to see the wrestling go through this. I have given my life to I and will always support fellow wrestlers,” he added.
