"No One Ready To Host": Brij Bhushan Defends New Wrestling Panel's Calls

BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who had resigned as the wrestling body chief amid charges of sexual assault, today defended the newly elected leadership's decision to hold a national event in his stronghold.

His remarks came at a press conference after he met BJP chief JP Nadda - significantly after the government suspended the Wrestling Federation of India's activities over the "hasty" decision to hold the junior contests.

He also denied reports that he had tendered his resignation as an MP.
