New Delhi: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi by posting a purported copy of an FIR registered against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and called out the PM alleging he “did nothing” despite giving assurance to a woman wrestler. Moitra tweeted a screenshot from one of the FIRs, where a complainant mentions meeting PM Modi at his office in 2021 when the Prime Minister assured her “that such grievances will be looked into by the Sports Ministry.”
Taking to Twitter, the TMC MP wrote, “Hon’ble PM @narendramodi Ji - relevant section from wrestler’s FIR clearly mentions she met & informed you of MP’s misconduct. You assured her of full support. You did NOTHING. Your vows are all broken, & light is your fame; We hear your name spoken, & share in its shame.”
