Sakshi Malik, on Monday, responded to media reports claiming she withdrew from the ongoing wrestlers’ protest against WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and categorically stated that the ‘fight for justice’ will continue.
Malik also clarified that she will continue to take part in protests and rejected reports that she has withdrawn from the ongoing protest against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
Taking to Twitter, the 30-year-old wrote: “This news is completely wrong. In the fight for justice, none of us has backed down, nor will we. Along with Satyagraha, I am fulfilling my responsibility in Railways. Our fight continues till justice is served. Please don’t spread any wrong news.”
Fellow wrestler Bajrang Punia also deemed the reports as fake and wrote on Twitter: “The news of withdrawing the movement is just a rumour. These news are being spread to harm us. We have neither retreated nor have we withdrawn the movement. The news of women wrestlers raising FIR is also false. The fight will continue till justice is served,” Punia tweeted.
India’s top wrestlers have been protesting against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Singh for more than a month in the national capital, demanding his resignation. They have also levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Singh. FIRs have been registered in the case and officials said that the Delhi Police is expected to soon file a chargesheet in the matter.
