Over the next week, a petition campaign will travel across cities in Haryana and Punjab to push for wrestling's bid to remain in the 2020 Olympic programme when the IOC meets in May.
"We urge all the supporters of the game to come forward and support 'Push for Wrestling' campaign and show the world how much we love the sport. The removal of the sport from the 2020 Olympics would ruin dreams of many wrestlers," Sushil said
Asked if he was thinking of retuning his Olympic medals in protest, as some of the wrestlers from Russia and Bulgaria have threatened, Sushil said that there are better ways of protesting against the IOC's decision.
"I think there are better ways of registering your protest. A medal is earned after lot of hardships. Also, I am confident the sport will be re-included as it has massive fan following," the silver medallist at the London Olympics said.
Meanwhile, Yogeshwar said he would be more than happy to return the bronze medal he won in London last year if the move guarantees wrestling's stay in the list of Olympic core sports.
