Title: Junior Wrestlers Protest Against Wrestling Federation, Demand Suspension Withdrawal
A group of junior wrestlers, including stars Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Poonia, have taken to the streets to demand the immediate withdrawal of the suspension of the wrestling federation. The move comes after allegations that Brij Bhushan, a key figure in the federation, was behind the recent protests at Jantar Mantar.
The protesting wrestlers are expressing their support for Sanjay Singh and his team, who have publicly spoken out against the adhoc committee and the sports ministry. They allege that there has been a stagnation in wrestling in the country for a year, with no trials or championships being held, and are attributing this to Sakshi, Baj Rang, and Vinesh.
In response to the protests, the ad hoc committee announced that the national championships for the under-15 and under-20 categories would be organized in Gwalior in six weeks. However, the protesting wrestlers have warned that they will return their Arjuna awards if the committee chaired by Sanjay Singh is not reinstated within 10 days.
The situation took a dramatic turn in Delhi, as a witness claimed that Brij Bhushan was behind the Jantarmantar protests and continued to threaten him, prompting a request for security.
The wrestling federation now faces a standoff with its own players, as the demand for the withdrawal of the suspension grows stronger. It remains to be seen how the federation and the sports ministry will respond to the ongoing protests.
