Wrestlers protest: Farmers’ outfit Samyukta Kisan Morcha has called for nationwide demonstrations on June 1 in support of protesting wrestlers who have been demanding the arrest of BJP MP and WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Singh is accused of sexually harassing women grapplers.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, in a statement, said it has given the call for the nationwide agitation “to secure the democratic right to protest by the Indian wrestlers” and all other sections of society and to “demand the arrest of BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh”.
To stage demonstrations across India
The statement said the Morcha will coordinate with platforms of trade unions, women, youth, students and all other sections, including intellectuals, to stage demonstrations across India.
Samyukta Kisan Morcha said it will also hold demonstrations and burn effigies of the Wrestling Federation of India chief on June 5. The same day a group of seers in Ayodhya has planned a rally in support of Singh.
Condemns action on wrestlers
The morcha also strongly condemned the action on wrestlers on May 28, when the women wrestlers had called ‘Mahila Samman Mahapanchayat’ to demand Singh’s arrest.
The Delhi Police removed the wrestlers on Sunday from the site by after they tried to march to the new Parliament building that was inaugurated the same day. They had been protesting at Jantar Mantar since April 23 to demand Singh’s arrest. The protesters were detained and later let off.
On Tuesday the wrestlers announced they would immerse their medals in the Ganga in Haridwar in protest . However, they did not carry out the threat after farmer leaders sought five days’ time from them to resolve the issue.
