Famous Bollywood actress Pooja Bhatt spoke in favor of female and male wrestlers sitting on a sit-in in New Delhi.
In her statement on the social media website, Pooja Bhatt supported the protesting wrestlers and also criticized former female athlete PT Usha.
Pooja Bhatt responded to a politician’s tweet and thanked him, writing that he supported the sit-in wrestlers at a time when most people have abandoned them.
He added that it is heartbreaking to see that our top athletes are currently on the road, with legendary players like PT Osha acting in a hypocritical manner instead of supporting them.
Indian politician Jayant Singh had said in a social media post that our top wrestlers have been on the streets since January, they have alleged abuse, when it first came up, they should have listened.
He had further said that ‘PT Osha’s statement on this issue is very offensive, I stand with my champions’.
Indian women and men wrestlers are currently protesting in New Delhi, accusing the head of the wrestling federation, Brij Bhushan, of sexual harassment.
He has also filed a petition regarding the arrest of Brij Bhushan in the Supreme Court.
PTO Osha reacted to this situation and said that the protesting players are spoiling the image of the sport and the country.
He had further said that the protestors would have at least waited till the report of the committee, what they are doing is not right at all.
