Wrestlers Protest: Women wrestlers fearing Brij Bhushan, now national wrestling camp will be held in Patiala, not Lucknow

A source told PTI, ‘The joint national camp was discussed in the meeting. It was brought to the notice of the panel members that parents of women wrestlers were not in favor of training their daughters with male wrestlers in Sonepat. “Parents fear that if this happens, cases of ‘love affairs’ may increase,” he said. This was the reason why WFI separated the two camps in 2013.
Women wrestlers are comfortable training at Delhi’s IG Stadium but there is no hostel for them to stay here. The SAI center in Patiala does not have a wrestling hall as it was merged with the weight lifting hall. “Holding the women’s national camp in Gandhi Nagar (Gujarat) is an option but it has to be seen whether the players will agree to go that far,” the source said. He said, “It was also proposed that male wrestlers should be sent to Lucknow and women should train in Sonepat but the coaches and referees were not ready for this.”
On April 27, on the directions of the Sports Ministry, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) constituted a three-member ad-hoc committee to run the affairs of the sport after the country’s top wrestlers including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik sat on a dharna at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The panel was formed. The protesting wrestlers are demanding Brij Bhushan’s arrest for allegedly sexually assaulting seven women wrestlers, including a minor. Besides Bajwa, the other members of the committee are rifle coach Suma Shirur and a retired high court judge who are yet to be appointed. The ad-hoc committee on Wednesday said that the selection trials for the U-17 and U-23 Asian Championships, scheduled to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, from June 10 to 18, will be held in Sonepat and Patiala from May 17 to 20, respectively.
“The selection trials for the upcoming Under-17 and Under-23 Wrestling Asian Championships to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from June 10 to 18 will be held at Sports Authority of India’s (SAI) Sonepat and Patiala centers from May 17 to 20,” Bajwa said in a statement.
