"I thank the people of the country and the media, you supported me throughout my wrestling journey. I thank the Congress party, it is said tough times tell you about who is with you. When we were dragged on the roads, all parties except the ruling BJP stood with us and understood our pain and tears," Phogat told reporters in New Delhi.
"Our fight will continue and we will win, in court and in life. I am proud to be with a party that stands with women and against any injustice," she added, speaking at an event introducing them into the Congress party.
"The hard work that we did during the protests and in support of farmers, soldiers and the youth, we will continue that hard work for our country," Punia told media.
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal told reporters said the two wrestlers 'have not only brought glory to the country in the sports field but have also fought a strong battle against injustice on the street.'
