NEW DELHI: Asserting that not one of many protesting wrestlers have backed down, Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia on Monday said they’re going to proceed their fight for justice and rubbished opinions of their withdrawal from the protest as makes an try to “sabotage” the movement.

The data of our withdrawing from the movement is simply a “rumour”, Punia said, together with that the report of women wrestlers taking once more the FIR may be “false.”

Bajrang, Sakshi along with fellow Olympian and World Championship medallist Vinesh Phogat have been protesting in opposition to outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, demanding his arrest on allegations of sexual harassment in opposition to seven wrestlers, along with one minor. Singh has denied all of the charges.

About the meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday, Malik suggested reporters that it was a “normal conversation and no final solution has emerged. Our stance will remain the same, arrest the accused. Vinesh, Bajrang and I are together in this fight and till we get justice, we will remain united.”

Reacting to opinions that she and Punia have withdrawn from the protest after they resumed their work throughout the Railways, Malik said the knowledge was “completely wrong.” 

Phogat had moreover resumed her accountability throughout the Railways.

“In the fight for justice, none of us has backed down and we will not. Along with Satyagraha, I am fulfilling my responsibility in Railways. Our fight continues till justice is served. Please don’t spread any wrong news,” Malik tweeted.

On his half, Punia said, “This news is being spread to harm us. We have neither retreated nor have we withdrawn from the movement. The news of women wrestlers taking back the FIR is also false. The fight will continue till justice is served.”

Asked if she has distanced herself from the movement since she resumed her duties throughout the Railways, Malik suggested reporters, “Let me make it clear, we are making our strategy to take our fight forward. We will ensure that there is no violence, how we can take the protest forward, we are working on that.”

“I am (an) OSD (officer on special duty) first and I have a lot of responsibilities, so as long as we are making our strategy and not sitting on the protest, I will take care of my official duties. As far as the Railways are concerned, I am taking care of my responsibilities for the last couple of days,” she added.

On the opinions that the minor lady has withdrawn her FIR, she said, “This is all fake news to weaken our Satyagraha and our protest to alienate us from the public. This is wrong. We have not gone back on our fight and we will not do so. Till we get justice, the fight will go on.”

“Those who said our medals were worth Rs 15 each are now after our jobs. Our life is at stake, a job is a very small thing in front of that. If the job appears to create an obstacle in the way of justice, then we will not take even ten seconds to quit it. Do not threaten us with a job,” Punia tweeted in Hindi.

Vinesh Phogat, the two-time Olympian, moreover tweeted the similar message in Hindi.

Phogat moreover requested if those who unfold fake data even realise the trauma that girls wrestlers are going by the use of.

“It is weak media that starts trembling in front of a goon’s hunter, not female wrestler,” she tweeted and as well as quoted a couplet from poet Abid Adeeb’s poem to say that they will proceed shifting forward no matter challenges.

Several wrestlers, who had been protesting on the Jantar Mantar, had been detained all through the march on May 28 and visuals of some of them dragged and pinned onto the underside by the Delhi police had evoked outrage all through the nation and sharp reactions from political occasions.
