Will hang myself if allegations proved, says WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh


Barabanki (UP), May 31 (IANS): Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said on Wednesday that he would "hang" himself if allegations of sexual assault levelled against him by wrestlers are proven.

"If a single allegation against me is proven, I will hang myself," Singh said while addressing a public rally in this UP district.

Singh took a jibe at wrestlers for announcing to immerse their medals in Ganga as a mark of their protest against him.

"It has been four months and they want me to be hanged. The government is not hanging me that is why they gathered at Haridwar on Tuesday and threatened to immerse their medals in the Ganga. This will not bring the sentence that they want for me, it is all emotional drama," he said.

"If you (wrestlers) have any evidence, present it in the Court and I am ready to accept any punishment. Delhi Police is investigating the matter. I would have been arrested if there was any truth to the charges levelled by the wrestlers," he added.

Meanwhile, Bhartiya Kisan Union President Naresh Tikait has called for a Maha Panchayat on Thursday in Muzaffarnagar to discuss the issue of wrestlers.

Tikait, on Tuesday, had gone to Haridwar to persuade the wrestlers against immersing their medals in the Ganga River. He announced his support to their protest against the BJP MP.

    Is there anyone in the present government who speaks the truth???? Where is Smrthi Irani and women MLAs and MPS now? Isn't this a problem of women??? Are there problems when Congress is ruling, Now why all are quiet??? If our female wresters don"t get JUSTICE, then all Indian women will show their power in 2024.

    What a disgusting shameful character. Karma will catch you sooner than you think. God sees the truth but waits sometime but, in your case, he may not wait as you took advantage of your position and molested young athletes. Shame on you.

    Why isn't the case being investigated though ??? Now since the matter has arisen, Atleast, they should see if it's true or not. But the BJP government isn't even hearing what the wrestlers has to say. That's dominant behaviour of the government.

    It is the all time favourite tagline of all our politicians right from the top (let me not specify) that “hang me if ….) and doesn’t carry any weight. People’s memory is very short and for us it’s business as usual. They also say “I will never join or leave a particular party” but at the end do whatever they want.
