The battle between wrestlers and sports officials keeps getting worse. On Thursday, even as the Indian Olympic Association formed a three-member committee to run the wrestling affairs and conduct elections, its officials were slammed for being insensitive and shielding the accused, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
The IOA in its executive committee meeting named Wushu Association president Bhupender Singh Bajwa and shooting coach Suma Shirur, along with a retired High Court judge, in the ad-hoc committee. But president P.T. Usha and joint secretary Kalyan Choubey’s comments that the wrestlers were tarnishing the country’s image has riled the protesters.
