Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 09 drew parallels between the 2010 Commonwealth Games and 2023 G20 Summit. Nirmala Sitharaman highlighted the scandals that happened during the Commonwealth Games and said that India was mocked all across the world. She also said that on the other hand, India’s G20 presidency under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime was a success and the countries across the world heaped praises for India. 

Following months of wrestlers’ protests against the then Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, Sanjay Singh, aide of Brij Bhushan, was elected as the new president on Dec 21. Meanwhile, the protesting wrestlers were extremely unhappy with the appointment of the new chief. Expressing displeasure over his appointment, Indian wrestler Sakshee Malik broke down and declared ‘quitting’ from wrestling. On being asked about Sakshee Malik retirement from the gamer, Brij Bhushan Singh said he had nothing to do with it. Notably, the wrestlers have been protesting against the former WFI chief since months over sexual harassment allegations.
