A woman member of the assembly of India’s ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party also supported the protest of women wrestlers.
Women wrestlers in India have been protesting in New Delhi since April 23 to take action against federation chief and BJP MLA Brij Bhushan over sexual harassment.
According to Indian media today, Member of Assembly Pritam Munde from Maharashtra has said that any complaint made by any woman should be taken into consideration.
Talking to the Indian media, Pritam Munde said that after the notice on the complaint, the authorities can decide whether the complaint is valid or not, expecting action to be taken in the present case.
The BJP leader said that I am not saying as a member of parliament but as a woman that if such a complaint comes from a woman, it should be noted and confirmed.
He said that after verification, the authorities should decide whether the complaint is valid or not, if it is not taken into consideration, it is not good for democracy.
The Indian woman MP added that although I am a part of this government, it has to be accepted that the government did not communicate with the wrestlers the way it should have.
According to the Indian media, earlier, another member of the BJP assembly has also made a statement in support of the protest of women wrestlers, while many personalities from sports and show business have also raised their voices on this issue.
It should be noted that on May 31, Indian women wrestlers gave an ultimatum of 5 days to take action against Federation Chief Brij Bhushan on sexual harassment.
The wrestlers say that if action is not taken, the medals will be thrown into the river Ganga in protest, while there is also a plan to go on a hunger strike at India Gate if the demands of the women wrestlers are not met.
