New Delhi, December 22 (IANS). Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday met Olympian wrestler Sakshi Malik and expressed solidarity with her and assured her all support in the fight for justice.
Priyanka Gandhi reached Sakshi Malik's residence and met her and other wrestlers.
While assuring all support to Sakshi Malik in her fight for justice, Priyanka Gandhi also said, “Women players who have brought glory to the country across the world have accused BJP MP and then WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual harassment.” Allegations were made, but the BJP government did not take any action against them and instead the victims were harassed in various ways.
Priyanka Gandhi said, “BJP is still standing with the accused and is rewarding him in every way. The women of the country are watching this atrocities.
Taking aim at BJP, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “The insult to players like Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik is not only an insult to them but to the entire country.”
He further said that it is shameful that the players who have brought glory to India in the world are helpless in front of their own government. The Prime Minister should at least have given up his ego in this matter and assured justice to the players who made the country proud.
But, the Prime Minister and BJP are with the accused of sexual exploitation. The country stands with its champions.
