Tainted politicians eroded credibility of wrestlers’ protest, says Lekhi

Union Minister and BJP leader Meenakashi Lekhi on Thursday said the credibility of the wrestlers’ protest at Jantar Mantar eroded after “discredited” politicians joined it.
Wrestlers have levelled sexual harassment charges against Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Saran Singh and sat on a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi demanding his arrest as well as ouster from the WFI post. Various political parties, including the Congress and AAP, have lent their support to the wrestlers.
Hours after a scuffle allegedly broke out between the wrestlers and some police personnel late on Thursday night, Lekhi in a press conference said the Centre was “very sensitively” dealing with the wrestlers’ issue and pointed out that the matter was in court.
