BRS working president and Telangana IT minister KT Rama Rao on Monday took to social media to announce his support for the wrestler’s protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
Can any responsible leader from Govt of India tell us why it has to be this way? These are champions who brought us glory on the world stage! They deserve our support and respect, the minister said in a tweet.
The protesting wrestlers want the countrymen to know that they are helpless and the right action is not being taken!
If these protestors are so truthful, what is stopping them from undergoing a polygraph test, along with Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, as he has proposed?
Rather than browbeating around with ‘2024 mein jawaab milega’, and kicking in front of the police force, why don’t the wrestlers simply produce the proof which is needed to rest their case?
Wrestlers, led by Olympic bronze medal winners Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, took to the streets of New Delhi in protest on January 18.
They accused Singh and several coaches of the sport’s governing body of sexually harassing female athletes.
Commonwealth Games women’s gold winner Vinesh Phogat said coaches and the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) have sexually harassed multiple women.
“Women wrestlers have been sexually harassed at national camps by coaches and also the WFI president,” the 28-year-old athlete said.
