Sangwan khap president and independent MLA Sombir Sangwan, and many other leaders went to Phogat바카라s village in Balali to invite her for the event to be organised in Rohtak on Sunday, August 25.

The khaps from Haryana as well as the other northern states are expected to participate in the event.

바카라We will make a medal with gold like the one given to gold medallists in the Olympics. It may weigh 50 grams or 100 grams,바카라 Sangwan was quoted as saying by the Indian Express. 

Sangwan also expressed disappointment, and said that Phogat바카라s disqualification was 바카라intolerable바카라. He further said that she has won people바카라s hearts after winning three bouts, and sealing an Olympic final spot.

바카라The way in which the wrestler was disqualified from the competition on the pretext of being 100 grams overweight is intolerable. There is no doubt that a conspiracy was hatched against her but she has won the hearts of crores of people after winning three matches in the Olympics. That바카라s why every Indian is giving her more honour than a gold medal winner,바카라 he added.

The khaps are social bodies that are area-based which are primarily active in rural areas of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and a few other states. 

Enroute to the Olympic final, Phogat beat Japan바카라s Yui Susaki in her opening bout. She then beat Ukraine바카라s Osaka Livach before beating Cuba바카라s Yusneylis Guzman to etch her way into the history books as the first Indian women to compete in a wrestling final at the Summer Games.
