Wrestler-turned-politician Babita Phogat on Friday claimed that she was receiving threats after her recent tweet against the Tablighi Jamaat members, but asserted she was not scared and stood by what she said.
The 30-year-old international wrestler, who joined the BJP last year, said, "In the recent past, I posted some tweets after which many people sent me wrong messages over Facebook messenger, WhatsApp and Twitter and abused me, while some people threatened me over phone."
Defending her controversial tweet, which was directed at the Tablighi Jamaat members, Phogat said, "In the tweet I posted there was nothing wrong in what I said and I stand by the tweet and will also do so in the future as I wrote about those people who spread coronavirus."
