"Vinesh's disqualification is deeply disheartening, yet the entire nation remains immensely proud of her unwavering dedication and spirit," said the Punjab CM, adding that the nation was proud of Vinesh Phogat. 

"We are disappointed that our daughter... due to some technical issue. She won three games in a day, defeating three champions. Whose fault was it (Vinesh Phogat's disqualification)?
