Wrestlers' Protest: Bajrang, Sakshee and Vinesh to immerse medals in Ganga, sit on fast unto death
India’s top wrestlers, including Olympic medallists Sakshee Malikkh, Bajrang Punia and Asian Games champion Vinesh Phogat, who are protesting against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over allegations of sexual harassment have said that they will “immerse their medals” in the river Ganga in Haridwar at 6 PM on Tuesday.
The protesting wrestlers added that after immersing their medals they will sit on an indefinite hunger strike at India Gate in New Delhi.
“These medals are our lives, our souls. There would be no reason to live after throwing them in the Ganga today. So, we will stage a hunger strike until death at India Gate after that,” their statement read.
