Protesting wrestlers meet Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi
New Delhi: Prominent Indian wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia, Sangita Phogat, Sakshi Malik, and Satyawart Kadian, who have been raising their voice against Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, met with Home Minister Amit Shah at his residence on Saturday night.
During the meeting, the wrestlers demanded a prompt chargesheet and an impartial investigation into the allegations of sexual assault leveled against Singh by seven wrestlers, including a minor.
Reportedly, Shah assured the wrestlers that the law would take its course and emphasized that the legal process must proceed fairly and without bias, according to media reports.
This development follows the wrestlers' recent decision to symbolically immerse their medals in the Ganga River as a form of protest. However, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait intervened and halted the act.
Last week, the international wrestling body, United World Wrestling (UWW), issued a statement condemning the treatment of the protesting wrestlers and expressed dissatisfaction with the "lack of results" in addressing the allegations against Singh.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
