The wrestler also urged Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and other people to help people like Hazari. “I am also from a farmer family and he is also a farmer. I can understand their pain. I neither run a trust nor am from politics. Just helping with what I have earned from the game. Earlier the condition of my family was also similar. The government should also look at this,” he added.
