Please listen to our Mann ki Baat, PM Modi: wrestler Sakshee Malik
In a demonstration against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and its president Brijbhushan Sharan Singh, wrestlers held a candle march at Jantar Mantar in the nation’s capital on Wednesday, April 26. The candle march included Vinesh Phoghat, Bajrang Punia, and Sakshee Malik.
Sakshee stated to the media, “We implore PM Modi to hear our Mann Ki Baat. We are not being heard by Smriti Irani ji either.
Through this candle march, we’re attempting to illuminate their darkness, Sakshee told the media. After filing a complaint against the WFI and its head on Friday, the wrestler claimed that no FIR had been filed.

Brij Bhushan Mocks Protesting Wrestlers
The president of the Wrestling Federation of India and member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, has stepped forward to defend himself amid the wrestlers’ protest at Jantar Mantar. He asserted that the majority of wrestlers in the nation back him, and that just a tiny number of wrestlers connected to a Congress leader had brought allegations against him. He also criticised the wrestlers who were criticising him for not going to the police, but instead staging demonstrations at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
They are criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The people speaking against him and others in the area are all railway workers.
Additionally, they are criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The people speaking against him and others in the area are all railway workers. It needs to be looked into,” he said.
He told the wrestlers to go speak with the police and the judge, and he pledged to accept the court’s ruling. “Jantar Mantar won’t bring you justice. You must visit the police and court if you want justice. That has never been done before. They only hurled insults. We will accept whatever the court decides, said the WFI president.
“Their demand fluctuates from time to time. Right away, you should take the agitation into account. They then sought the resignation of the WFI president. They then raised the subject of sexual harassment. Following that, they urged the government to conduct an inquiry, he added.
It is bad for sports in general, not just for wrestlers- PT Usha
Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra and former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev have spoken out in favour of the wrestlers, but PT Usha, the head of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), has criticised them.
The Indian Olympic Association has a commission looking into sexual harassment; the protesting wrestlers could have come to us sooner rather than taking to the streets, but they didn’t. It is bad for sports in general, not just for wrestlers. She said that they should also get punishment.
