The Congress on Thursday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to break his “silence” on sexual harassment allegations against BJP MP and WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, and accused him of trying to save his party’s leader. 


India’s top wrestlers have demanded the arrest of Singh for allegedly sexually harassing seven female grapplers, including a minor.  Congress general secretary Randeep Surjewala, who hails from Haryana, visited their protest site and said, “My direct question to the PM is that the daughters who returned after winning medals, were your family members then. You didn’t hold back in building your image in the whole country by making video calls to them from thousands of miles away,” he said.

Instead of taking action against the accused, why have you kept silent on such a serious matter?” “Modi ji, you give the slogan of women empowerment and Beti Padhao-Beti Bachao all over India. The reality of your slogan is visible at Jantar Mantar,” he said.
