New Delhi: As the protests by Indian wrestlers at Jantar Mantar, demanding justice over the #MeToo allegations made by them against the chief of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh continue, India’s ‘Golden Boy’ Neeraj Chopra has taken to Twitter urging the authorities to take quick action on the matter.

This is the second time that the wrestlers have taken to the streets demanding action to be taken against the WFI chief over the alleged sexual harassment of multiple female wrestlers.

“It hurts me to see our athletes on the streets demanding justice. They have worked hard to represent our great nation and make us proud. As a nation, we are responsible for safeguarding the integrity and dignity of every individual, athlete or not. What’s happening should never happen. This is a sensitive issue, and must be dealt with in an impartial and transparent manner.

“Pertaining authorities must take quick action in order to ensure that justice is served.”
