New Delhi, Aug 18 (IBNS): External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday tried to console Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who had to leave the venue of her Rio Olympics quater-final match on a stretcher due to injury, by calling her country's daughter.

"Vinesh - You are our daughter. @indiainbrazil is your family. Ask for anything you require," Swaraj tweeted.

The wrestler earlier poster after she was injured: "If I tel u that I m ok it wud b lying to myself n all of u. Right nw I m hurt; both physically and mentally. I ll recover soon. Thank u all."

Her Olympics campaign was cut short following the injury she had received during her 48 kg quarter-final fight against China's Sun Yanan.
