Wrestlers End Road Protest, Moves To Court Against WFI Chief

 The Indian wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, and Bajrang Punia had started their protest on January 18, alleging sexual harassment and intimidation by WFI chief. 

Now they have announced the end of their protest against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the President of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). 

In a statement posted on Twitter, the wrestlers stated that their fight for justice would now be pursued through legal means rather than on the streets. 

They acknowledged that the government had fulfilled its promise of filing a chargesheet against Singh, and they would continue their battle for justice in court. 

They also mentioned that the election process for the WFI had commenced, as promised by the government, and they would wait for the fulfillment of other assurances, particularly regarding the July 11 elections.

Shortly after posting the statement, Vinesh and Sakshi announced that they would be taking a break from social media for a few days. 

In a previous live address on social media, the wrestlers had criticized former wrestler and BJP leader Yogeshwar Dutt for questioning the decision to exempt them from Asian Games trials. 

They emphasized that their fight against Singh would continue and that they would evaluate the chargesheet filed against him to determine the next steps.

During the protest, which lasted for 38 days at Jantar Mantar, the wrestlers had garnered support from farmer leaders, khap panchayats, and other opposition parties & leaders. 

However, they were removed by the Delhi Police on May 28 for violating law and order. The protest was subsequently suspended until June 15 after receiving assurances from Sports Minister Anurag Thakur that a chargesheet would be filed against Singh and that none of his family members would be allowed to contest WFI elections.

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil.
