Decision to suspend WFI taken under pressure: Opposition leaders

IndiaTimes Sunday, 24 December 2023
Opposition leaders criticize government's decision to suspend Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), questioning the election of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's loyalist, Sanjay Singh. The sports ministry suspended WFI for organizing tournaments without following due procedure and not giving sufficient notice to wrestlers. The ministry's actions are seen as a farce and insufficient justice for wrestlers who made complaints of sexual harassment against the former WFI chief. The BJP is accused of diverting attention from the outrage caused by the election of Brij Bhushan's loyalists.

‘Coming To BJP headquarters’: Kejriwal Challenges Pm Modi After Bibhav Kumar's Arrest | Watch Video

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi by announcing his intention to visit the BJP headquarters with AAP leaders, daring the PM to arrest them all. Kejriwal accuses Modi of orchestrating a "game of jail" and claimed that AAP leaders were being targeted for imprisonment, including himself, Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Sanjay Singh, Raghav Chadha, Atishi, and Saurabh Bharadwaj. He asserted that despite any arrests, AAP's ideology would endure, emphasising the party's achievements in Delhi. In response, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari emphasised that arrests are determined by investigation agencies and courts, not the BJP, and underscored Modi's commitment to justice. This exchange follows the arrest of Kejriwal's aide, Bibhav Kumar, accused of assaulting Swati Maliwal, former DCW chief, who alleged the attack occurred during a visit to Kejriwal's residence. Police are investigating the incident, with Kumar expressing willingness to cooperate and also lodging a complaint against an AAP Rajya Sabha MP. #KejriwalChallenge #BJPHeadquarters #PMModi #BibhavKumarArrest #ArvindKejriwal #AAPLeaders #PoliticalChallenge #DelhiPolitics #BJPvsAAP #LeadershipStandoff #PoliticalDare #IndianPolitics #BJPLeadership #PMModiCase #ArrestChallenge ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.102~GR.121~
