SGPC delegation to visit Delhi on May 29 to support protesting wrestlers

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee on Thursday said a delegation of the apex religious body of Sikhs will visit Delhi on May 29 to support the wrestlers who are protesting against WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh at Jantar Mantar.

SGPC senior vice-president Baldev Singh Qaimpur, general secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal and executive member Gurinder Kaur Bholuwala will be part of the delegation.

Top wrestlers of the country, including Vinesh Phogat and Olympic medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik, have been staging a sit-in at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, demanding the arrest of Singh for allegedly sexually harassing seven women grapplers, including a minor.

Recently, SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami had announced support for the protesting wrestlers. Now, a delegation of the Sikh body will visit Jantar Mantar on May 29, said SGPC general secretary Grewal.

The SGPC has always stood with those fighting for the truth and it will continue to stand with them in the future too, he said.
