One killing by my hands...

he exploited many girls

Our only demand - discontinue the federation

Brij Bhushan ji will step aside

Can sports and terror ever be connected? There may be a way

After Suresh Kalmadi, Narinder Batra and Praful Patel, Brij Bhushan Singh made his
name in sports headlines

Not for a good reason - but for damaging sports culture in the country

Nation's well known wrestlers are protesting at Jantar Mantar against wrestling
federation head Brij Bhushan Singh

Top wrestlers have demanded enquiry into allegations of sexual harassment,

intimidation and financial irregularities on Brij Bhushan Singh

Vinesh Phogat wrote to IOA that she was mentally harassed and tortured by Brij
Bhushan Singh after Tokyo Olympic loss - she pondered ending her life

There is also allegation of financial irregularities

Wrestlers have taken this step with great thought and caution because Brij Bhushan
Singh is not to be taken lightly - he is feared by all

There was no effect at first on the govt - they are used to protests at Jantar
Mantar

Brij Bhushan Singh also said he won't resign - do what you want

I cannot go down like this

Wrestlers also didn't budge and media coverage went up ... Govt had to act,
especially when comments made by international Wrestling federation

Remember, we have such federations which have led to bans internationally (an
episode on the same is out there) so obviously we cannot accept another sporting
embarrassment

That is why sports minister Anurag Thakur ordered probe on serious allegations

We will get to the bottom of this and till then Wrestling Federation president will
step aside

Indian Olympic Association has set up a committee to probe charges against Brij
Bhushan Singh and he will step aside till then

Wrestlers stopped their protest after this announcement ... but the story is not
yet over

Brij Bhushan Singh is a six time member of parliament and three time wrestling
federation president

This is his influence and he will use it to prove his innocence

Be it getting a wrestler to his side or posting sweet messages on official Twitter

handle of WFI
Kanak and Kajal Kushwaha - we hail from Akhada training school (Bhopal) in Madhya
Pradesh, and are national players. All allegations on WFI chief are baseless.

Don't know about wrestling but they can do fairly well at elocution

Anyway, now a serious question:

What will come of the investigation - we don't know. But one thing is clear that
sports and players remain affected

Sporting federations still have politicians and many have politicians as presidents
- they won't budge

It shows why we lack in so many sports

If you happen to know more about Brij Bhushan Singh you will understand what kind
of people have entered our sports

It's not like we haven't seen any changes in sports - Dangal movie covers one
inspiring story from the world of wrestling

favorite books

Shubhangi Misra of The Print found shocking info on the life and times of Brij
Bhushan Singh

If you go to myneta.info you can find all information on politicians - crime meter
on Brij Bhushan Singh is in the red

But those are all allegations. However, Brij Bhushan Singh admitted on record of
his serious crime...

One killing by my hands and I admit to it. I shot the one who killed Ravinder.

Let it be ... this is expected from politician of the stature and controversy is
nothing new for him

In the 90s Brij Bhushan Singh was arrested under TADA - Terrorist and Disruptive
Activities (Prevention) Act, UAPA of that time

What was the allegation? That he allegedly helped Dawood Ibrahim's connections

These allegations should end a whole career but in this case - 6 time member of
parliament and unopposed president of wrestling federation

We dreamed of riding on bikes - he allegedly stole bikes - may have been involved
in liquor mafia
He may be from BJP but miles ahead of Congress in nepotism

Wife Ketki Devi Singh is president of Gonda Zila Panchayat Son Prateek Singh is
Gonda MLA

Brij Bhushan Singh was fond of wrestling since school days but he did not become
wrestling head for his sporting achievements

For years he organized Dangal and many say that he brought discipline to wrestling

He was popular in the wrestling arena before wrestling became popular in the
country - he was the ultimate judge - may even ouster the referee

Wrestlers took his blessing before fight

Voices against Brij Bhushan Singh are clear that he knows nothing of the sport and
stepping into the ring does not make one a wrestler

Don't know about wrestling but he sure knows a lot about politics - after all he is
6 time member of parliament and leading wrestling federation for 15 yrs

BJP needs Brij Bhushan Singh in Gonda that is why party was hesitant before taking
action

Brij Bhushan Singh lashed at Yogi govt on flood situation last year but he is too
powerful and influential to attract action

Maybe Brij Bhushan Singh crossed limits with wrestling players and we don't want
such people in sports

Remember corruption in 2010 Commonwealth Games? Making money on toilet roll, sex
trade, etc. CBI arrested Kalmadi in 2011

Narinder Batra resigned as Hockey president because of CBI investigation on

misappropriation of public funds

Praful Patel, chief of AIFF for 12 years, but did not budge from his position -
Supreme court had to intervene and removed him

We did an episode on situation of Football

Let's be clear - players are winning medals because of their hard work, despite the
system's drawbacks

The solution is clear - remove all politicians from any sporting federation

Minimum eligibility for a post should be 10 years in the sports

This can be done - however politics is so deep that a famous player like Baichung
Bhutia got only one vote

P.T. Usha has been appointed IOA president - legendary player who is at the top

This has to be done in all sporting federations otherwise politicians will

accumulate all top posts for themselves and stick for years - that must be changed
