New Delhi: A day after wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia joined Congress, former MP and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh Saturday hit out at the move, saying that the protests against him over sexual harassment allegations were nothing but a political conspiracy.
Talking to news agency PTI, he said: “About two years ago, these sportspersons had started a conspiracy on January 18. The day all of this began, I had said that this was a political conspiracy. The Congress was involved in this, including Deepender Hooda and Bhupinder Hooda. The entire script was written. This was not an agitation by sportspersons. And now, after about two years, it has become clear that the Congress was involved in this drama.”
“When they sat on a protest, the nation believed there was truth in it and the Opposition parties rallied against me. They have been lying. I wasn’t there during the day of the incident mentioned in the case,” Singh was quoted as saying.
