“Chalo, chalo, chalo,” the minister said as she was rushing towards her car. “What do you have to say on the protesting wrestlers?” she was asked. “Legal process is going on,” Meenakshi Lekhi said. The interaction took place before the wrestlers went to Haridwar on Tuesday as the minister was asked to comment on their plan to immerse the medals.
The wrestlers have been protesting for over a month in Delhi demanding the arrest of BJP MP and Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. On Tuesday, the wrestlers decided to immerse their medals in the Ganga escalating their protest. In dramatic developments, they were stopped by farmer leader Naresh Tikait who took the medals from the protesters and sought five days to meet their demand.
Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya: Brij Bhushan Singh
Brij Bhushan on Tuesday said the Delhi Police were investigating the matter and there was nothing to be done. “Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya (let’s see what happens). FIRs have been filed after their complaints. Now what can we do? Today they went to immerse medals in Ganga ji, but instead of Ganga ji, they gave the medals to Tikait. It’s their stand. My term is over. If I am found guilty, I will be arrested. What’s the problem with that,” Brij Bhushan said.
