Earlier, Haryana BJP MP Brijendra Singh called the protest 'absolutely heartbreaking' as the wrestlers recently threatened to immerse their medals in the river Ganga.
Amid the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's alleged studied silence on escalating protests demanding the immediate arrest of Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, BJP's Maharashtra MP Pritam Munde today said cognisance should be taken of a complaint made by any woman.
Later, authorities can decide whether the complaint is proper or not, Ms Munde told reporters in Maharashtra's Beed district on Wednesday, adding that she expects action to be taken in the present case.
"I, not as a member of Parliament, but as a woman, say that if such a complaint comes from any woman, then its cognisance should be taken. It should be verified," Ms Munde said, according to news agency PTI.
After verification, authorities should decide whether it is proper or improper, she said, adding that "If cognisance is not taken, then it is not welcomed in democracy."
