India's most famous women wrestlers
vinesh forgot and sakshi Malik
along with others
on 18 January 2023 were protesting in
delhi's Jantar mantar
against BJP Member of Parliament and
Wrestling Federation of India's
president brij bhushan sharan Singh for
sexual harassment
this was the reason for the protest
vinesh forgot gave details of the
harassment
said
women wrestlers have been sexually
harassed by coaches and also the wfi
president brij bhushan sharan Singh
she questioned
why the training camps are mostly held
in Lucknow
these can be held at different places so
that we learn better before going for
tournaments
the reason is Bridge bhushan has a house
there and so it's easy to exploit the
girls
I've been seeing this since the last 10
years
vinish added I know about 10 to 20 girls
who have been exploited by bridge
bhushan and the coach sinceres
we don't want the future generations to
go through the same pain we want the
exploitation to stop
the wrestler said that she has also
written to the Prime Minister and the
sports Minister against bridge bhushan
and a few other coaches
vinish added we have the names of those
10 to 20 girls who have been exploited
but I'm a little scared as these girls
are from poor backgrounds and the
powerful accused might harm them
the names would be revealed at the right
time
shocking brij bhushan is a bad person
for God said the young kids give him
cash milk ghee Etc to get their name
into the national camp
similarly coaches do give cash or gifts
to get into the national camp
for God said one of the person who
accompanied the women's team to Tokyo
Olympics as physio had no idea of
women's wrestling
she said the person would have been
selected by bribing the top boss
many top wrestlers
like bajrang punya Sonam Malik and anshu
openly supported Ganesh
they condemned the coach for his actions
as well they openly supported her in the
press conference
wfis
vinod Tomar
walked across to talk to the protesting
wrestlers
he left as his attempts at negotiations
failed
Bridge bhushan Singh said only those few
wrestlers have said I have sexually
harassed them and I do not believe them
even if one wrestler comes forward and
says that she has been sexually harassed
that day I can be hanged
Swati maliwal person of Delhi commission
for women
has told the police to investigate the
matter stay tuned for updates
