Bajrang announced the reinstatement of the Padma Award in a letter to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “I am returning my Padmashree award to the Prime Minister,” Bajrang posted on social media, alongside a photo of the letter. I have only one letter to write. This is what I have to say.”
On social media, a video of Bajrang returning the Padma Shri award is becoming more and more popular. It is purported that this footage was taken outside the prime minister’s house. Bajrang Punia is seen in this video leaving his Padma Shri award on the sidewalk in front of the prime minister’s house and then coming back. Despite the pleas of the on-site police officers, Bajrang leaves and returns with the Padma Shri. The Sports Ministry has stated that it will approach Bajrang about overturning this ruling in the meantime.
Bajrang Punia penned a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing his optimism for the latter’s health. You’ll be occupied with serving the nation. I want to bring up our wrestling in the middle of your extremely hectic schedule. You would be aware. The country’s female wrestlers had filed grave charges of sexual harassment against the wrestling association’s manager, Brij Bhushan Singh, in January of this year. I joined the movement that those women wrestlers began.
In January, the belligerent wrestlers went back to their residences when the government instructed them to take decisive action. However, even after three months had passed and no formal complaint had been made against Brijbhushan, we wrestlers once more marched to the streets in April to demand that Delhi Police at least make a formal complaint against Brijbhushan Singh. Despite our best efforts, however, nothing was accomplished, and we were forced to go to court. Had to make the necessary FIR. The number of complainant woman wrestlers was 19 in January and dropped to 7 by April. During these three months, Brij Bhushan Singh used his might to repel 12 lady wrestlers in his quest for justice.
