Two days after India’s top athletes were detained by the Delhi Police, Sakshi Malik has informed that the protesting wrestlers will throw their medals in Ganga river at Haridwar.
The decision was taken to intensify their protest against the Central Government, demanding justice and action against Mr. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the President of the Wrestlers Federation of India (WFI.)
According to sources, all the wrestlers including Sakshi, who won the Bronze (Rio 2016,) with Bajrang Punia (2020 Tokyo medalist) and world championship medalist Vinesh Phogat, would go to Haridwar and would throw their medals in Ganga. In her social media handle, Sakshi Malik said, “These medals are our life and soul. After we put it in the River Ganga, there would be no meaning for us to live for. so we will go to India Gate and sit on a fast until death.”
Recently, on the 28th of May, Sunday, the wrestlers at the Jantar Mantar, escalated their protest and called for a march towards the new Parliament building, set for inauguration. In order to stop the wrestlers from marching towards the new parliament, the Delhi Police swung into action and detained all the protesters. In the tussle between the two, many wrestlers suffered injuries as they were dragged and detained. Visuals show how male and female officials of the Delhi Police were stopping the protestors forcefully and brutally.
