Congress leader Randeep Surjewala addressed a press conference along with party leader and boxer Vijender Singh
Congress on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Central Government after the announcement of the retirement of Olympic medalist female wrestler Sakshi Malik. The Congress alleged that “make daughters cry, torment daughters and make daughters sit at home” has become the sports policy of the BJP government. Party general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala also claimed that women wrestlers are being treated with “atrocity and injustice”. Narendra Modi government is directly responsible for this. Let us tell you that Rio Olympics bronze medalist Sakshi Malik yesterday protested against the victory of Brijbhushan Sharan Singh’s confidant Sanjay Singh in the election for the post of President of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). He placed his shoes on the table and announced his retirement from wrestling.
“Modi government is directly responsible for this.”
When Sakshi Malik was announcing her retirement, she had tears in her eyes. Surjewala said in the press conference today that after the election victory of BJP MP Brij Bhushan’s associate and ‘nominee’ Sanjay Singh, accused of sexual exploitation of wrestler daughters, Sakshi Malik, the country’s first female wrestler and farmer’s daughter, to win an Olympic medal in wrestling. The announcement of retirement from sports is a “dark chapter” in India’s sports history. He alleged that the Modi government is directly responsible for ‘atrocities and injustice’ towards champion women wrestlers. Surjewala said, “This shows that the daughters who raise their voice for justice will be forced to take up sannyasa and will be sent home and will be blamed, and will make fun of the daughters’ helplessness and helplessness. Perhaps that is why sexual abuse accused Brij Bhushan Singh took up wrestling. After the Sangh elections, he said, “There was dominance, there will be dominance.”
“Modi government’s ‘dominance’ forced them to go home”
Congress General Secretary Randeep Surjewala claimed that “Make daughters cry, torment daughters and make daughters sit at home” has become the sports policy of the BJP government. He said that it was the misfortune of the country that the daughter of an ordinary farmer family of Haryana, born in Mokhra village of Rohtak, brought Olympic medals for the country and today the “clout” of the Modi government forced her to go back home. Surjewala said, “The wrestler daughters of the country sat at Jantar Mantar in the scorching afternoon for 39 days, knocking on the doors of Parliament, sobbing, demanding justice, but instead of giving justice, the BJP government crushed them with the shoes of Delhi Police and Dragged on the streets. This is the situation when women wrestlers had complained about the atrocities against them even to the Prime Minister, Home Minister and Sports Minister.”
“Brij Bhushan gets the affection of Modi government”
Surjewala said that even at that time the daughters of the country had to approach the Supreme Court just to register an FIR. He claimed, “What could be a bigger national shame than this that the wrestler daughters, who have brought glory to the country all over the world, were forced to take the drastic step of sacrificing their medals in Ganga Maiya to demand justice. The reason is only this.” That BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh is being pampered by the Modi government.”
“Modi government captures all sports associations”
The Congress General Secretary also claimed that not only the Indian Wrestling Association but all the sports associations of the country including BCCI are under the control of Modi government and BJP leaders. He asked, “Why is the Modi government silent? Why is the Parliament of the country silent on the sobs and tears of the farmer’s wrestler daughters? Why is the country’s sports world and its famous personalities silent? Should it be assumed that now?” “Dominance”, “fear”, “intimidation” and “injustice” are common in New India?
