MDMK headquarters secretary Durai Vaiko sought justice for Indian women wrestlers who had accused BJP MP and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and several other coaches of sexual harassment.
In a statement here, he said that in January, he had condemned the failure of the Indian Government to act on the complaints of the wrestlers, including Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, Ravi Dahiya, and others, who staged a silent sit-in protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
He alleged that even though a five-member committee headed by Mary Kom was formed to inquire into the allegations of wrestlers in four weeks on January 23, no proper inquiry was conducted. “The police have not yet filed an FIR,” he said.
