A part of the clip stated, “Jo hua hai yeh humaare samaaj ka ek bahut sharmanaak sach darshaata hai, woh hai ye ki agar is desh me koi yaun utpeedan kare jo satta se sambhandit hai, khaaskar ki ruling party me hai, toh unke saath kuch nahi hoga (What has happened shows a very shameful truth of our society, that is if someone in this country, who is in the power, especially belonging to the ruling party, commits sexual harassment, then nothing will happen to him)”.

What is wrestlers’ protest all about?

In January this year, top Indian wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat, Ravi Dahiya and Sakshi Malik, held a sit-in protest in Jantar Mantar, demanding that Brij Bhushan be removed from the head office and Wrestling Federation of India be disbanded. They had accused the body and its chief of sexual harassment and mistreatment of wrestlers.

Following the protest, in January, the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports announced the formation of an ‘oversight committee’ to probe allegations levelled against the Wrestling Federation of India and its chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and other coaches.The committee was given the task of submitting a report on the issue to the Ministry.
