Over the last six days, the wrestlers have slept and trained at the protest site near Jantar Mantar in the national capital. ‘he wrestlers should have taken this step 3 months ago. FIR has been registered, now the wrestlers should focus on their practice. Even the Prime Minister does not have the right to punish only the court does’, Yogeshwar Dutt said.He also said that the task of the committee that was formed was to submit its report after listening to both sides.
