Wrestlers have been protesting at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar for the arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, former president of Wrestling Federation of India, BJP MP and sexual abuse accused, since April 23. Meanwhile, on the call of Khap Panchayats, Mahila Mahapanchayat is going to be held in front of the new Parliament House on May 28. Whose permission has been given by the Delhi Police.
On the other hand, BJP leader Babita Phogat, who has been going against the wrestlers since the beginning of the movement, has once again given a big statement. He has taken a jibe at Gurnam Singh Chadhuni.
It is very shameful and unfortunate that the movement started from Jantar Mantar is now being led by an agitator like Gurnam Singh Chadhuni. How can that movement be for the rights of women, in which poisonous words, abuses and threats are being given to the world’s largest political party BJP4 and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi? The demand and movement raised for the rights of women is now being handed over to anti-national forces and special political families!! Attention.
