Wrestlers at Virender Arya Akhara in Chhara village in Jhajjar said they had no clue that the Congress leader would visit
Wrestlers at an akhara in Haryana's Jhajjar district were in for a surprise this morning when they saw Congress MP Rahul Gandhi walking in. Mr Gandhi joined them for exercise, shared his Jujutsu experience and also spoke about the unrest in wrestling circles over sexual harassment allegations against former wrestling boss Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
Among those present was Olympic Games bronze medallist Bajrang Punia, who announced that he is returning his Padma Shri and will not take it back till "sisters and daughters" get justice.
Wrestlers at Virender Arya Akhara in Chhara village said they had no clue that the Congress leader would visit. "Nobody told us that he's coming. We were practising here, and he walked in. He reached around 6.15 am," a wrestler told the media.
