Embattled WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on April 30 praised Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav for not associating himself with the ongoing protest by top wrestlers of the country, saying Mr. Yadav was “standing with the truth”.
Mr. Singh is in the eye of a storm after the grapplers levelled sexual harassment charges against him and demanded registration of an FIR against him as well as his ouster from the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).
Various political parties, including the Congress, AAP and others, have lend their support to the protesting wrestlers.
