"No Partiality, Protesting Wrestlers Won't Be Singled Out": Brij Bhushan

Asked if he will continue to call the shots in the day-to-day running of the federation, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said he won't interfere, but offer suggestions if his help is sought.

The protesting wrestlers will not face any sort of vendetta politics and they will get the required support from the new federation, outgoing Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said on Thursday after the panel backed by him emerged victorious in the keenly-followed elections.

Brij Bhushan, who is facing sexual harassment charges from women wrestlers, assured that the new dispensation will work impartially.

Rio Olympics medallist Sakshee Malikkh, though, announced her retirement from the sport, saying she won't compete under the presidency of a man who is backed by the former WFI boss.
