Has Sakshi Malik withdrawn from wrestlers' protest? Olympic medallist responds to rumours
Reports are doing the rounds that following the wrestlers' meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah, Sakshi Malik haswithdrawn from the month-long protest against Wrestling Federation of India's (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Singh Sharan on Monday (June 05) and resumed work at the Northern Railway. The news spread like wildfire and various portals carried the development as well before the Olympic medallist Sakshi responded to all the rumours.
'This news is completely wrong'
Slamming all such reports, Sakshi took to her official Twitter handle and wrote, "This news is completely wrong. In the fight for justice, none of us has backed down, nor will we. Along with Satyagraha, I am fulfilling my responsibility in Railways. Our fight continues till justice is served. Please don't spread any wrong news."
In April, Bajrang, Sakshi, and Vinesh Phogat commenced a protest by wrestlers at Jantar Mantar in Delhi after accusing the WFI chief of sexually harassing various wrestlers, including a minor. Since then, they have been involved in a scuffle with the Delhi Police and were even detained by them during their march towards the new parliament in the national capital, on May 28, when it was being inaugurated by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. Following this, they were set to immerse their hard-earned medals in the Ganges. In addition, they were to sit on a fast until death.
