His chances of a third successive Olympic appearance hanging in balance, two-time medallist Sushil Kumar will not hesitate in going to Court if his demand for a trial against Narsingh Pancham Yadav is not accepted by the Wrestling Federation of India.
Sushil has already taken the matter to the doorsteps of PM's Office but is yet to get a response from government.
"We are still awaiting a response. Sushil has asked for a meeting with the Prime Minister and we are waiting for a reply. Expecting that the government would respond to Sushil's appeal," Sushil's mentor Satpal Singh said.
"Sushil is hoping to get a call for a trial and doesn't want to go to court. But the option of moving the court can't be ruled out if the matter is not resolved," he added.
Sushil has appealed to the Prime Minister, IOA, Sports Ministry, Wrestling Federation of India and the fans to give him a chance to undergo a trial for the Rio Games.
Besides sending a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting for a meeting with him, and urging the Sports Ministry, IOA and WFI, Sushil also uploaded a video message with a hash tag 'Justice4Sushil', where has appealed to the fans on his Facebook and Twitter page to support him to undergo a trial with Narsingh in men's 74kg freestyle.
Today Sushil has uploaded another video, where he is seen to be training hard, with a message reading "Even in this hour of uncertainty, I am not shying away from working hard. Decision is yours."
