Wrestlers Protest: Former Indian footballer supported wrestlers, said such a thing for PM Modi – ex indian footballer supports wrestlers protest slammed pm narendra modi

New Delhi: Showing solidarity with the aggrieved wrestlers, former India midfielder Mehtab Hossain on Wednesday joined a protest march in the city which was led by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Wrestlers are demanding the arrest of outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of allegedly sexually assaulting several women wrestlers, including a minor. Former East Bengal midfielder Mehtab told PTI, When these sportspersons win medals in the Olympics, the Prime Minister would have time to host them over tea and click photographs. He said, “If the Prime Minister had taken out five minutes to listen to him, then this wrestling drama would not have reached this level.” On Tuesday, the wrestlers reached Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar and threatened to immerse their medals in the Ganges but were later stopped by khap and farmer leaders.

Mehtab said, ‘Remember, the whole world is watching us. This is causing shame to the country. Even the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and United World Wrestling have noticed it.

“They are all international players who have won medals at the top level. The image of the country has been damaged. Along with Mehtab, 20 former East Bengal players and officials also joined the protest rally. The rally started from Hazra and concluded at Ravindra Sadan. Thirty-six organizations including the Olympic Association of Bengal, Indian Football Association (IFA), East Bengal, Mohun Bagan and Mohammedan Sporting Club participated in it. Please tell that Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and other Indian wrestlers were protesting at Jantar Mantar in the capital Delhi since April. But he was removed from there only last week. However, the wrestlers want the arrest of WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh at any cost.
