Wrestlers’ sexual harassment charges | Heads must roll and PM Modi should speak up, says Congress

The Hindu  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi should break his “silence” on the allegations of sexual exploitation against Bharatiya Janata Party MP and Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the Congress said on January 19. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh also took to Twitter to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi “why all those who oppress women are members of the BJP”. Is this the ‘better environment’, in which even our daughters who bring laurels to the country are unsafe?” he added, referring to a speech of Mr. Modi on Jan. 18 in which the Prime Minister had said that “a better environment for sports has been created and now more children and youths are looking at sports as a career option”. Addressing a press conference at the All India Congress Committee headquarters in New Delhi, Congress’ media department head Pawan Khera said Mr. Singh’s resignation should have come on Jan. 18 itself.
