The news of our withdrawing from the movement is just a “rumour”, Punia said, adding that the report of women wrestlers taking back the FIR is also “false”.
Bajrang, Sakshi along with fellow Olympian and World Championship medallist Vinesh Phogat have been protesting against outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, demanding his arrest on allegations of sexual harassment against seven wrestlers, including one minor. Singh has denied all the charges.
About the meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday, Malik told reporters that it was a “normal conversation and no final solution has emerged. Our stance will remain the same, arrest the accused. Vinesh, Bajrang and I are together in this fight and till we get justice, we will remain united.”
Reacting to reports that she and Punia have withdrawn from the protest after they resumed their work in the Railways, Malik said the news was “completely wrong.” Phogat had also resumed her duty in the Railways.
