In Muzaffarnagar, 130 km away from Delhi, khaps from across Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh on Thursday gathered together for a mahapanchayat organised by the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) and said they would approach President Droupadi Murmu for her intervention in connection with the ongoing wrestlers’ agitation, going on for a month, while no action has been taken against Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, facing sexual harassment charges.
On Wednesday, BKU leader Naresh Tikait had announced a mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh to create a plan of action for the next few days concerning the wrestlers’ protest, who have now been removed from their protest site in Jantar Mantar.
More than 1,000 participants gathered in Sorham village of Muzaffarnagar, where various active khap members from across Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh took a decision to fight for justice of the wrestlers.
