All India Football Federation’s president and IOA’s joint secretary cum acting CEO Kalyan Chaubey slammed the Indian Wrestlers for protesting on the streets. According to him, this type of thing set a bad precedent. India’s most decorated Wrestlers are protesting as they demand action in regard to the allegations of sexual misconduct by Wrestling Federation of India’s (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
The women wrestlers sitting on strike for the past several days had filed a petition in the Supreme Court. The petition demanded that an FIR be registered against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, President of the Wrestling Federation of India. The Wrestlers’ protest had approached the Supreme Court on Monday, on which the court had issued a notice to the Delhi Police. During the hearing today, the Delhi Police told the court that they will file an FIR in this matter today.

Meanwhile, Most Indian Athletes from different kinds of sports are supporting Indian Wrestlers. They are tweeting how proud they are. Everyone extends support to the wrestlers in their battle against the IWF chief.
AIFF President and IOA joint secretary Kalyan Chaubey decided to go against everyone. Well, he was not the first as India’s famous Athlete Pt Usha decided to slam the Wrestlers.
Adding to what PT Usha said to reporters, Kalyan Chaubey said, “What Wrestlers have done is not good for our Country. It’s not good for the Image of our Country. Our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been doing so much for sports and then you have these wrestlers sitting on the streets and protesting. This sets a bad precedent.”
