‘Law will take its own course,’ Amit Shah tells wrestlers after meet

NEW DELHI: The wrestlers protesting against BJP MP and president of the Wrestling Federation of India Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is facing sexual allegations, called on Home Minister Amit Shah last night. They met Amit Shah at 11 pm last night at his residence in Delhi and talks were held for two hours. Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Sangeeta Phogat visited Amit Shah.

The wrestlers asked Amit Shah to take strong action against Brij Bhushan. He told the wrestlers that let the law take its own course. They decided to meet Amit Shah after the ultimatum given by the wrestlers demanding action against Brij Bhushan ended yesterday.

In protest against taking action against Brij Bhushan, wrestlers had reached Haridwar to throw their international medals in river Ganga. The farmer leaders who expressed solidarity with the wrestlers dissuaded them from the decision. The leaders have given an ultimatum to the central government to take action against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh by June 9.
