The following statement was issued to the press by Amarjeet Kaur, General Secretary, AITUC today 28th May
AITUC Condemns Repression on Women Wrestlers,
Demands the release of all and
The arrest of the accused Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh
AITUC condemns the oppression let loose on the women wrestlers and all those who were at Jantar Mantar at the protest site or were proceeding towards the site to join in the women panchayat which had been called today to press for their demand for justice, arrest of Mr. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh alleged for sexual harassment in the FIRs against him including under POCSO Act.
The RSS-BJP government led by Mr Narendra Modi is further exposed of its facade of ’Beti Bachao, Beti Padao’ slogan as well as its naked expression of intolerant towards any criticism, opposition or even raising voice for seeking justice under the rule of law and constitutional rights.
We demand the immediate arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the release of all those arrested, and Justice for women wrestlers who through their voices have raised the voice of women who face harassment at different levels but are restrained to ask for justice.
AITUC calls upon its units to organise protests against this oppressive, undemocratic act on the part of Delhi Police on instance of the ruling regime.
Amarjeet Kaur
