The protesting wrestlers on Thursday said they were willing to ‘sacrifice’ their careers in the sport, in order to ensure justice for the women grapplers. They also welcomed the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) panel’s decision to conduct the selection trials for U-17 and U-23 Asian Championships, scheduled to be held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from 10th to 18th June. Addressing the media after paying a visit to Raj Ghat in the evening along with Vinesh Phogat, Sakshee Malikkh, Sangeeta Phogat and their supporters, Bajrang Punia said they will not shift from their stand till the former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is arrested for alleged sexual harassment of women grapplers including a minor.

Bajrang said, "Our fight for justice will continue. We are getting great support from the entire country. The government’s motto is Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (Save girl Educate girl), so it should keep in mind these are the country’s daughters,” Bajrang said.

The protest has been going on for the past 26 days at Jantar Mantar. When asked whether it is hampering their preparation for this year’s Asian Games, Bajrang said getting justice for the victims is their priority now.

“If we get justice for the daughters it is our biggest medal. We are willing to sacrifice. The fight is for good people in WFI and not people like Brij Bhushan or his followers who will keep on molesting women wrestlers,” he said.

The selection trials for the U-17 and U-23 Indian teams for the Asian Championships are being organised in NIS Patiala and Sports Authority of India Regional Centre in Sonepat, and Bajrang welcomed the move.
