On the other hand, the Delhi Police has started an investigation into the allegations against MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Brij Bhushan has been accused of sexually abusing and harassing women wrestlers. These wrestlers protested here in January, and the Union Government assured them that a committee would be formed and an inquiry would be conducted. Afterward, a committee of inquiry was constituted; however, its report has not yet been released. As a result, no action was taken so far. This is why the wrestlers have started agitation again.
| Editorial viewpoint
It is unfortunate that wrestlers of international fame have to protest repeatedly for justice. The Union Government should pay attention to this and bring the truth to the fore ! |
