New Delhi: Ace wrestler Bajrang Punia Monday said all the political parties are invited this time to join their protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

Talking to media person, the top wrestler said, “This time, all parties are welcome to join our protest whether it is BJP, Congress, AAP or any other party.”

He added that, “We hail Tiranga when we win medals and not political parties’ flag. When we win all parties comes to congratulate us not just one party and neither we are affiliated with any party but the nation.”

Punia urged everyone including general public to join the protest. He said, “If we do not fight for the protection of our sisters and daughters today then, we will not be able to fight for anything in the future.”
