A day after the Supreme Court closed their case in opposition to the Delhi Police, the protesting wrestlers appear to have come to phrases with the preliminary setback and determined to transfer forward in a extra organised way.
“We have formed two committees to discuss the way forward. The first comprises 31 people from all organisations who are supporting us including the khap panchayats, farmer organisations, labour groups and student and women groups. The other is of nine which will decide on wrestling matters but none of the wrestlers sitting here are part of either. We will disclose more details tomorrow,” Bajrang Punia instructed mediapersons.
Reiterating that the protest was for justice and never about any caste or political occasion, Bajrang stated even BJP members had been welcome. He added that the recording of statements of complainants by the police had been accomplished would subsequent be recorded in entrance of a Justice of the Peace. Interestingly, BJP in alliance with the JJP is in energy in Haryana and on Friday, state sports activities minister Anil Vij and Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala threw their assist behind the wrestlers.
The protest is probably going to intensify on Sunday with a number of khaps asserting they’d collect at Jantar Mantar and maintain a panchayat. “They did a panchayat yesterday too. Whatever they resolve will be acceptable to us. If the society and the nation asks us to vacate, we are going to go away.
