Government is trying to protect Brij Bhushan: Vinesh Phogat

The protesting wrestlers are sensing that Former WFI chief won’t be arrested anytime soon with Vinesh Phogat alleging on Sunday that the government is trying to protect Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is also a BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh. The wrestlers had halted their stir after getting an assurance from Sports Minister Anurag Thakur on June 7 that a chargesheet will be filed against Singh by June 15. The wrestlers have been demanding Singh’s arrest since they resumed their agitation against Singh on April 23 at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The government has accepted several of the wrestlers’ demands, including that none of Singh’s family members or associates will be allowed to contest the impending WFI polls.
