New Delhi, Apr 29 (PTI) Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed solidarity with protesting wrestlers after meeting them at Jantar Mantar here on Saturday and accused the government of “protecting” WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment levelled by women grapplers.
The Congress general secretary also called for the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief’s ouster from the post so that he is unable to “exert pressure” on the wrestlers and hamper their careers.
Priyanka Gandhi, who is scheduled to take part in a series of poll campaign events in Karnataka later in the day, reached Jantar Mantar in the morning and interacted with the wrestlers.
