Wrestlers regroup after Sunday’s action, to decide future strategy soon

A day after the police action in which their protest site was cleared and they were detained, the protesting wrestlers held discussions among themselves on Monday to decide their strategy to keep the stir against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of sexual harassment.

Speaking to The Hindu, Sakshi Malik said that the wrestlers and organisers regrouped and held meetings throughout the day to work on the strategy. “The entire country saw what happened yesterday. It was an example of dictatorship. But that will not stop us from our struggle. We are discussing multiple ways to continue the stir and will reach a decision by tomorrow [Tuesday],” she said.
