NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricketer Kirti Azad voiced support for the protesting wrestlers and also expressed his dissatisfaction with the handling of the issue, stating that grapplers who have brought respect to the country via their sports achievements deserve justice.
"The way Delhi Police treated our wrestlers who were protesting peacefully was condemnable. Our women wrestlers worked hard, and they played for the pride of India and won medals. They are treated like this by the police and they have to go to the Supreme Court to file an FIR and at the end when they did not get justice they have to immerse their medal in the river Ganga. We have asked them to not immerse medals in the river Ganga, this is the pride of the nation. We want wrestlers should get justice as soon as possible," Kirti Azad told ANI.
