MP Brij Bhushan Singh.
Today, one month has been completed for the country’s top wrestlers’ dharna at Jantar Mantar demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, former President of Wrestling Federation of India. MP Brij Bhushan has not been arrested yet.
Regarding this today wrestlers will take out a candle march at India Gate at 5 pm. A large number of farmers and women will participate in this march. Farmers can make a big announcement of the upcoming strategy today.
At the same time, Brij Bhushan said, ‘I will never go to meet him. Earlier they used to touch my feet and now they sit on dharna. They are victims of conspiracy. This is not a case of sexual harassment, but of good touch-bad touch. Bajrang Punia’s wrestling is over. In response, Vinesh Phogat said that there are mothers, daughters and women in his house too.
Big things against Brijbhushan’s wrestlers…
1. If the FIR is true, then the investigation agency should be closed, evidence and witnesses are not needed.
In a conversation with a TV channel, Brij Bhushan said- Will the FIR be accepted as final, should the investigating agency stop its work. Should the same be treated as charge sheet? Is there no need for evidence-witness statements. So close the police stations, close the investigation agencies. Print a newspaper and hang him.
2. Wrestlers are the victims of the conspiracy, will be angry with them if the matter is settled
On the question of meeting the wrestlers, Brij Bhushan said – why should we go to Jantar Mantar. When he didn’t leave anything. What respect have you done to me? Used to touch feet till 15 days ago. Used to praise me, used to come to my house, I used to go to his house. I want to say again, they are victims of conspiracy. When all this action is completed, then they will be less angry with me. Will be more angry on those in whose trap they are trapped.
3. Get the investigation done by CBI, I am ready for every test
When the investigation is pending with the Delhi Police, now the Delhi Police will decide. I had said 15 days back that now is the time, the way you talk about Delhi Police, it seems you will raise questions on Delhi Police. So from now on you go to Kapil Sibal and tell him to get it investigated by CBI or get it investigated by someone else, because then when the report of Delhi Police comes, you will speak again. Brij Bhushan said, I trust every investigation, I am ready to get every test done.
Said in UP – the case is of untouchability
Brij Bhushan said in the program on the birth anniversary of Maharana Pratap in Mau, UP on Tuesday, ‘This case is of untouchability. Right touch or wrong touch. Ladies (women wrestlers) have come with the disease of untouchability. The wrestlers who are protesting till date have not been able to tell when it happened, where it happened, what happened, how it happened.
He said, ‘Yesterday there was a Khap Panchayat, in which it was decided that the MP’s narco test should be done. In the evening, I said that my narco test should be done, as well as the narco test of the players who made the allegations should also be done. So that the conspirators can be traced. This case is about bad touch and good touch. This is a case of untouchability.
Wrestlers also accepted the challenge of narco test
Brij Bhushan’s challenge of narco test was accepted by the wrestlers on Monday. Bajrang Punia said that we are all ready for any test, but it should be done under the supervision of the Supreme Court. The narco test should be live so that the whole country listens to the questions and answers.
