The dreams of players are being openly murdered – Phogat.

Congress leader Vinesh Phogat said, “The truth is that the children of Haryana are losing their lives in the fields, and the BJP government is looking for ‘development’ in papers and advertisements. This is not a failure of the system, it is a murder of the system. And with it, the children’s dreams, their faith, and their future are being killed. This is not a sports policy, this is a blatant murder of the dreams of the players.”

In a sports-oriented state like Haryana, the death of two innocent lives, 17-year-old budding player Hardik and 15-year-old student Aman, has left the entire state in deep shock. Haryana is called the ‘Sports Powerhouse’ of the country, the children here are making the country famous with their talent, hard work and passion in sports. pic.twitter.com/tK65xxnaDx
