Furthermore, Mahua Moitra also lambasted at the hypocrisy of the “BJP Naari Brigade”. She questioned their absence from the issue and criticised them for not speaking up. Mahua Moitra also taunted at the selective criticism by the “Naari Brigade” and asked if the wrestlers were “Not Sankskari Enough” to be supported!
Oh & just btw BJP – Where is your nari brigade? Your saases and your bahus? Why the silence now on WFI issue?
Or aren’t female athletes “sanskari” enough to be worth standing up for?— Mahua Moitra (@MahuaMoitra) April 29, 2023
On the same day, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh also addressed a press conference about the case. He denied resignation from his position as it would only strengthen the country’s belief in the claims made by wrestlers. The WFI chief also promised his support in the investigation and showed faith in the judiciary.
