Questions are raised as to why he is not stepping down since the accusations:
Famed anchor Rajdeep Sardesai said, “Personal intervention in wrestlers issue is to be welcomed: ministry has asked Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh to ‘step aside’ pending inquiry. Yday, BJP MP was seen as a ‘guest’ at a wrestling event. Qs is: will he still run sport by proxy? #DangalForJustice.
Prashant Bhushan activist and top advocate of the Supreme Court said, “Top Indian wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Anshu Malik & Bajrang Punia are among a group of sportspersons who have accused BJP MP, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh (Chair of WWF), of sexual harassment & physical abuse. #BetiBachao from these predators.”
Swati Chaturvedi expressed, “It is a matter of national shame that BJP MP, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has still not been sacked even as Olympians sit-in protest in the bitter cold & make grave allegations of sexual harassment against him. Why is joke WCD minister Irani mum?”
Right-wing activist Anshul Saxena said:
Sexual harassment allegations against Wrestling Federation of India’s chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh:
1. Indian Olympic Association forms a 7-member committee, with Mary Kom & Yogeshwar Dutt, to probe allegations.
2. Sports Ministry has asked the WFI chief to resign within 24 hours.
The BJP is accused of being mum on this case:
