Members of All India Democratic Youth Organisation (AIDYO) took out a protest rally in Belagavi on Thursday, in support of women wrestlers in New Delhi.
In a memorandum submitted to President Droupadi Murmu, they sought her intervention in the issue.
“Women wrestlers who have brought laurels to the country were sitting in protest in New Delhi against sexual harassment allegedly by Brij Bhushan Singh who is the president of the Wrestling Federation and BJP MP. Just because he is powerful, the government is not ordering any inquiry against him. Instead, the police are being used to harass and ill treat the protestors,” they said.
