Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sanghala Samanvaya Samithi and civil rights organisations staged a protest at Dharna Chowk here on Thursday to express their solidarity with the women wrestlers who have been agitating demanding that the Central government take action against BJP MP and president of Wrestling Federation of India Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for alleged sexual harassment.
Samithi convener Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao said that the Central government should suspend him from all government posts and arrest him at once. The government should also provide security to the women wrestlers who were staging a protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The State government did not respond to the wrestlers. Neither the TDP nor the Jana Sena Party have responded. The ruling YSRCP, TDP and the JSP were requested to respond and support the wrestlers, he said.
CPI national executive member Akkineni Vanaja, CPI(M) State secretariat member Ch. Babu Rao, Congress leader Naraharisetti Narasimha Rao, Forward Bloc State president Sundararama Raju and others spoke.
