Wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar offer to return their medals

New Delhi (IANS) | Top Indian wrestlers, who have been protesting for the past several days at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, have now offered to return their medals and honors received from various organisations. Wrestlers on Thursday informed the media that they were manhandled by Delhi Police personnel on Wednesday night to disrupt their protest against the alleged sexual harassment of women wrestlers by ousted wrestling federation president and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Due to this, he will now return his medals and honours.
The protesters alleged that a policeman was in an inebriated condition and misbehaved with the women wrestlers.
Offering to return the honour, Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Bajrang Punia said, “When they (policemen) were thrashing and abusing us, didn’t they see that wrestlers are also Padma Shri awardees?” ”
If wrestlers are treated like this, what will we do with the medals? It was not only me, Sakshi (Malik) was also sitting here. We will lead a normal life and return all medals and awards.
Asked if his proposal was related to medals won in the international arena, Asian and Commonwealth Games medalist Vinesh Phogat said, “Take them all.” You have insulted us so much. Nothing left.
Asked about BJP supporters’ claim that several opposition parties are supporting the wrestlers’ protest, Vinesh Phogat insisted that it was political. He told the media, listen, this is political. Please talk to the Prime Minister. Ask the Home Minister to call us. Give us justice We are putting our career and life at stake.
