Addressing on the occasion Mr. Zahed Ali Khan stated that earlier the art of wrestling was very popular. The participants of wrestling competition were respected by the society but antisocial elements, loan sharks and rowdies started calling themselves as pahelwan since then it became difficult to differentiate between players and rowdies. Wrestlers who know the art are not the oppressors but they help the oppressed. He added.
