Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha on Thursday came down heavily on the aggrieved wrestlers, stating that their ongoing protest on the streets amounts to indiscipline and is tarnishing the country`s image.
The country`s top wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and Sakshi Malik, resumed their protest against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Sunday, three months after they called off their sit-in demonstration following the formation of an oversight committee to probe into the sexual allegations. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, they urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek his time to discuss the sexual harassment allegations against his party`s MP Sharan Singh. The Sports Ministry has not yet made public the findings of a six-member oversight panel that submitted its report on April 5.
