    Shashi Tharoor's strong reaction to PT Usha's Remark on Wrestlers' Protest

    West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has also expressed support for the wrestlers and asked for justice in the case.

    Digital Desk: Shashi Tharoor, a
    Congress MP, criticized the country's Olympic body chief, PT Usha, today for
    denouncing the wrestlers' public protest against alleged sexual misconduct by
    the wrestling body's head.



    color:#2E2E2E">Ms Usha had called the wrestlers' protest "indiscipline"
    and chastised them for not waiting for the result of a commission investigating
    the claims against Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan
    Sharan Singh, who has denied any wrongdoing.



    color:#2E2E2E">"Dear @PTUshaOfficial, it is not in your character to
    dismiss the legitimate protests of your fellow athletes in the face of repeated
    and wanton sexual harassment." Their fighting for their rights does not
    "taint the nation's image." Ignoring their complaints - rather than
    listening to them, investigating them, and taking appropriate action -
    does," the Thiruvananthapuram MP tweeted.



    color:#2E2E2E">His remark came just a day after PT Usha, a famed former athlete
    and Rajya Sabha member who heads the Indian Olympic Association, slammed the
    wrestlers' protest as a "negative approach" that is
    "tarnishing" the country's reputation.



    "The players should
    not have protested in public. They should have at least waited for the
    committee's report. What they have done is detrimental to both the game and the
    country. "It's a negative approach," she explained.



    color:#2E2E2E">West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has also expressed
    support for the wrestlers and asked for justice in the case.



    color:#2E2E2E">"We must all stand in solidarity with the wrestlers who are
    protesting." They are speaking in unison. Our athletes are the pride of
    our country. They have won the championship. The guilty must be brought to
    justice, regardless of political affiliation. Justice must triumph. "The
    truth must triumph," she declared.

    color:#2E2E2E">Arvind Kejriwal, her Delhi counterpart, will pay a visit to the
    wrestlers at Jantar Mantar tomorrow. Saurabh Bhardwaj and Atishi, two prominent
    leaders from his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), will go visit them this evening.



    Another politician,
    Uddhav Thackeray supporter Priyanka Chaturvedi, disagreed with PT Usha's
    remark.



    color:#2E2E2E">"The country's image is tainted when MPs accused of sexual
    harassment walk free while victims struggle for justice." "I'm sorry
    Ma'am, but we must all speak up for our sportswomen and not accuse them of
    tarnishing our image when they are the ones who have won laurels for our
    country and given us reasons to be proud," she tweeted.



    Ms Usha's words elicited
    an immediate response from the protesting wrestlers, who said they were wounded
    by her remarks since they looked up to her for encouragement.



    color:#2E2E2E">"PT Usha is our icon." We were offended by what she
    said. "I want to ask her if it was not tarnishing India's image when her
    academy was being demolished and she raised her concerns on social media,"
    Olympian Bajrang Punia told news agency ANI.



    color:#2E2E2E">They had also written to her, urging her to take action.



    The
    star wrestlers' protest, which included Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and
    Sakshi Malik, drew political leaders to their venue after they returned to the
    streets, stating that no action was taken on their claims.



     



    They
    took to the streets in January to protest the alleged sexual misconduct
    charges but dropped their protest after receiving assurances from Sports
    Minister Anurag Thakur. They have also petitioned the Supreme Court for an
    urgent hearing, which is scheduled for today.
