I have not spoken with the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office and Home Minister,&#8221; he said, adding, he will address a press conference at 4 PM today.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>This comes after Sports Minister Anurag Thakur met the protesting wrestlers in a late night meeting that lasted four hours but failed to make a headway. The meeting, which began at 10 pm, ended at 2 AM.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The minister has urged the protesters to wait as the ministry has sought a response from the federation. The wrestlers&#8217; body would file its reply by 3 PM today.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>In its reply, the Wrestling Federation of India is likely to deny all allegations of sexual harrassment and and misappropriation of funds, said sources.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Celebrated Indian wrestlers, including Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik besides Vinesh Phogat and others are staging a sit-in protest for the last two days at Jantar Mantar against the WFI president, accusing him of sexual exploitation and intimidation and have demanded that the federation be disbanded.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The wrestlers are not ready to settle at anything less than resignation of the WFI president.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Earlier on Wednesday, the centre had made it clear that if the WFI does not respond in the next three days, the sports ministry &#8220;will proceed to initiate action against the federation in terms of the provisions of the National Sports Development Code, 2011.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately we did not get a satisfactory response. Yesterday, we had 1-2 victims amongst us but now we have 5-6 wrestlers, who were harassed (sexually). We can&#8217;t name them now, after all they are daughters and sisters of somebody. But if we are forced to disclose their identity, it will be a black day,&#8221; said Vinesh, a two-time World Championship medallist, on Thursday afternoon while speaking to the media.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Olympian wrestler Bajrang Punia said: &#8220;Five to six women wrestlers are here with us who have faced these atrocities and we have evidence to prove it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Former wrestler and Haryana BJP leader Babita Phogat reached the protest site yesterday to meet the wrestlers as a mediator from the government and assured the grapplers that their demands will be met. &#8220;I have assured them that the government is with them. I will try that their issues are resolved today,&#8221; Babita said.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span class=\"cmt_btnOut\"><span class=\"cmt_btn\"><a class=\"btn_bm cmt-ac cmt-dn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/javascript:void(0);\"><span class=\"ndtv-cmnt-cnt\" style=\"display:none;\"\/><span class=\"ndtv-cmnt-txt\">Post a comment <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/wrestling-body-chief-as-athletes-seek-resignation-over-metoo-conspiracy-3708487\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] There is no question of resigning, said Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
