Congress demands BJP sack Brij Bhushan Singh over sexual harassment charges; BJP rewards his son with Lok Sabha ticket.
The Congress on May 10 demanded the BJP sack former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh after a Delhi court ordered framing of sexual harassment and other charges against him.
It also demanded the Lok Sabha ticket given to his son be withdrawn.
In a post on X, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said the BJP has tried to "hide behind the fig leaf" by giving a ticket to his son from the Kaiserganj seat, which is presently represented by Brij Bhushan in Lok Sabha.
"Today, a Delhi court has ordered the framing of charges against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the BJP's goonda-MP who has been accused of sexually harassing five women wrestlers, including a minor," Mr. Ramesh said.

Brij Bhushan, who abused his position as head of the Wrestling Federation of India to sexually assault women. Brij Bhushan, also accused in terror-linked TADA and murder cases," Mr. Ramesh said.
He slammed the BJP for rewarding him by giving a ticket to his son Karan Bhushan Singh.
