Protesting wrestlers who had taken a drastic decision of immersing their World/Olympic medals in the river Ganga at Haridwar for being forced to wrestle with the govt authorities since the last so many months have now reportedly given five days time to the Narendra Modi-led BJP government to arrest Wrestling Federation Chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh (accused of sexual harassment of several women grapplers) after being convinced by khap/farmer leaders not to do so. The wrestlers have now vowed to come back if action is not taken against the WFI chief and have also decided not to immerse their medals in the Ganga river till the deadline ends. United World Wrestling, the international governing body which oversees wrestling at the Olympics has now also condemned the arrest and temporary detention of wrestlers in India. I think that if PM Narendra Modi in particular is really serious in batting on behalf of women's rights then he should personally intervene and get this MP from UP not just suspended/expelled from the BJP but also arrested at the very earliest.
