NEW DELHI: India's star wrestlers coming on streets to stage a protest hasn't gone down well with the former track and field star and Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha who feels that this kind of protest amounts to gross indiscipline and tarnishing the image of the country.
Wrestlers, including World Championships medal winner Vinesh Phogat, Olympic medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, have made sexual harassment allegations against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and have been sitting on an indefinite protest at Jantar Mantar.
The elite athletes resumed their agitation against the WFI chief on Sunday, three months after they ended their sit-in protest following the formation of an oversight committee by the government to probe into the serious allegations.
