Wrestlers Protest Posters Shown Outside Sachin Tendulkar’s Bungalow, Mumbai Police In Action

Recent events surrounding the arrest of Brij Bhushan Singh, former president of the Wrestling Association, on charges of sexual exploitation, have sparked outrage within the wrestling community. Wrestlers nationwide have taken to the streets, demanding justice and his arrest. However, the response from authorities and the subsequent actions have only intensified the controversy.

The issue has now reached the doorstep of cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, with questions arising about his silence on the matter. This article delves into the unfolding controversy and the political response it has generated.

Wrestlers, including prominent athletes like Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat, had been staging protests at Jantar Mantar, demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan Singh. However, on May 28, the police forcefully ended the demonstration, further escalating tensions. In a symbolic act of protest, the wrestlers planned to discard their medals into the Ganges in Haridwar. But even this act was halted by farmer leader Naresh Tikait, who intervened and brought them back.

Former spinner Anil Kumble took to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction with how the wrestlers’ protest ended abruptly. However, Sachin Tendulkar, another iconic figure in Indian sports, has remained silent, drawing attention and criticism. Many have questioned his lack of response, as his voice could influence public opinion and contribute to the wrestlers’ cause. The controversy has now spilled over into the political realm, with the Congress party expressing discontent with Tendulkar’s silence.

The party questioned Tendulkar’s silence and demanded a response. However, the Mumbai Police swiftly intervened, promptly removing the poster from the premises.

The controversy surrounding the wrestlers’ protest and Sachin Tendulkar’s silence highlights the broader issue of accountability and justice within the sports community. Athletes and icons hold significant influence as public figures, and their voices can resonate deeply. The demand for Tendulkar to speak out on the matter stems from the belief that his support could amplify the wrestlers’ cause and garner more attention to the alleged wrongdoing.
