Congress asks PM to sack WFI chief after Jantar Mantar scuffle; Rahul calls 'Beti Bachao' BJP's hypocricy

New Delhi, May 4 (PTI) The Congress on Thursday slammed the BJP-led central government over a scuffle between the Delhi Police and the wrestlers protesting at Jantar Mantar here, with Rahul Gandhi condemning such "shameful" behaviour with sportspersons and alleging the ruling party has "never shied away" from committing atrocities on the daughters of the country.

The Opposition party also called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sack Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, against whom the wrestlers are protesting.

The party urged the PM to show "sensitivity" to the protesting grapplers by visiting them at Jantar Mantar.
