Neeraj Chopra 'hurt' to see athletes on streets, comes in support of protesting wrestlers

India’s ace wrestlers continue their protest against WFI president Brij Bhushan Singh over allegations of sexual harassment.  Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra on Friday came in support of the athletes, and said that he was `hurt`. Top Indian grapplers including Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, are involved in the protest against the WFI chief. Notably, India’s first individual Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra has also extended support to wrestlers. Following the protest, in January, the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports announced the formation of an `oversight committee` to probe allegations. However, wrestlers have alleged that no concrete action has been taken yet against WFI president. On April 27, India’s Youth Affairs and Sports Minister Anurag Thakur said that “athlete is priority” for Centre.
