Wrestlers Protest Live: Country’s top wrestlers continued their protest on Saturday at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar again #Me too. Olympic medalist wrestlers like Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik are leading the protest. Wrestlers have accused wrestling association president Brij Bhushan Singh of sexual harassment. Two FIRs have been registered against Wrestling Federation of India President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh at Delhi’s Connaught Place Police Station on Friday. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday morning reached Jantar Mantar to exoress her solidarity with the wrestlers. The athletics told their problems to Priyanka.

Bajrang Punia V/S Delhi Police

Wrestler Bajrang Punia on Saturday once again made a serious allegation against the police, saying that he had ordered some goods but the police were ‘not allowing’ them to be brought to the protest site. Punia said, the police are beating up the person bringing the goods and driving them away. Bajrang said that the lights were cut off at the protest site at Jantar Mantar and water was not being allowed to reach there.

Those who make the country famous are fighting their own battles. 7 women wrestlers, including a minor, had complained of sexual exploitation against Brij Bhushan. Delhi Police did not register the case, the wrestlers filed a petition in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Delhi Police to register a case.

Wrestlers riot continues

Wrestlers’ protest continues even after the case has been registered against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. They say that our protest will continue until Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is not removed from all posts and he is not put in jail.
