“Fight for India’s daughters”: Bajrang Punia on wrestlers’ protest

With the farmers joining the wrestlers’ protest in the national capital over sexual harassment allegation against the Wrestlers Federation of India’s (WFI) Chief Brij Bhushan Singh, ace grappler Bajrang Punia on Monday said that the protest is a “fight for the daughters of India”. Star wrestlers including Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshee Mallik have been protesting at the Jantar Mantar since April 23 demanding action against the Wrestlers Federation of India’s (WFI) Chief Brij Bhushan Singh over sexual harassment charges. Various organizations have come forward to show support for the wrestlers and their protests. On Sunday, Khap Panchayat came forward in support of the protesters demanding the government put the WFI Chief behind bars. While talking to ANI, Punia said, “I want to thank you for those who are coming forward to support us, this protest is not limited to wrestlers only instead it is a fight for the nation as well, a fight for the daughters of India.”
