The country`s top wrestlers resumed their protest against the federation`s chief 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, the protesting wrestlers on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek his time to discuss the sexual harassment allegations against his party`s MP and WFI chief Brij Bhushan 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.
"PM Modi sir talks about `Beti Bachao` and `Beti Padhao`, and listens to everyone`s `Mann Ki Baat`. Can`t he listen to our `mann ki baat`? He invites us to his home when we win medals and gives us a lot of respect and calls us his daughters. Today, we appeal to him that he listens to our `Mann Ki Baat`," Rio Games bronze medallist Sakshi Malik stated, expressing shock that PM Modi felicitates them and clicks pictures with them when they win medals but now has turned a blind eye to their plight when they are on road, seeking justice.
