The Delhi Chief Minister has asked people to take time off from work to show solidarity for the aggrieved wrestlers and join them in their protest.
”Those who love our country, whether they are from Congress, AAP or BJP and even if not affiliated with any party, must take off and come here to extend support to them (wrestlers),” Kejriwal said.
”They are not fighting for themselves, they are fighting for the entire sports fraternity. Think how powerful the man is that it took seven days and Supreme Court’s involvement to register an FIR against him,” he said further.
It is mentioned Delhi Police filed two first information reports (FIR) on April 28 in connection with sexual harassment allegations levelled by the wrestlers, naming Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh as an accused.
