Under-fire Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has termed the protest by the country’s top wrestling as the “dharna of Shaheen Bagh” and reiterated that he won’t quit from his post.

The agitating wrestlers on Friday reached out to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), demanding formation of an enquiry committee to probe the allegations of sexual harassment against Singh, a day after threatening to lodge multiple FIRs against the WFI chief.

However, Singh has stuck to his stand to not relinquish the post.

“The protest by wrestlers against me is the dharna of Shaheen Bagh,” Singh, who is also a sixth-time Lok Sabha MP from UP’s Kaisarganj constituency, told reporters in Gonda.

Singh also termed the protest in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar an attack on BJP and orchestrated by the Congress party.

Earlier speaking to a TV channel, he had said, “The protesting players have become a toy in the hands of Congress and Deepinder Hooda. This type of conspiracy was done against me by the Congress almost three decades ago. Once again the conspiracy has been repeated.

“I had earlier said that there was a conspiracy, and big powers are behind it. Now those forces are coming out in the open.”
