Brij Bhushan Singh: In a new development, the Ayodhya district administration denied permission to BJP MP and former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh to hold a rally in Ayodhya. However, Singh posted on Facebook that he is postponing his upcoming rally slated to be held on June 5 in Ayodhya. He cited directions from the Supreme Court amid the investigation of sexual assault allegations against him.
Circle office SP Gautam said permission was denied in view of the other programmes scheduled for the World Environment Day on June 5.
Details of FIRs made public
Earlier in the morning, the details of two FIRs and 10 complaints of sexual harassment filed against him by 7 female wrestlers were released in the public domain.
According to the details in the FIRs and complaints registered in the case, the WFI chief has been accused of demanding sexual favours from each one of the seven complainants. Further, at least 10 complaints of molestation have also been registered against him.
Singh writes Facebook post
The BJP MP said in his Facebook post that he respects the “Supreme Court’s directions” and is willing to cooperate with the police investigating the case against him.
“Some political parties are trying to disturb social harmony by promoting provincialism, regionalism and caste conflict through rallies. That is why we had decided to organise a Sant Sammelan at Ayodhya on June 5 to deliberate on the evil spreading in the entire society,” Singh wrote in his post in Hindi.
“But now that the police are investigating the allegations, I respect the serious directions issued by the Supreme Court. The ‘Jan Chetna Maharali, Ayodhya Chalo’ programme that was to be held on June 5 in Ayodhya, is therefore postponed for a few days,” he wrote, without confirming when the rally will be held next.
He also thanked the “lakhs of supporters and well-wishers from all religions, castes and regions” that supported him “in a humble way on this issue”.
“With your support, I have served as a member of the Lok Sabha for the last 28 years. I have tried to unite people of all castes, communities and religions, both in power and in the Opposition. For these reasons, my political opponents and their parties have levelled false allegations against me,” he added. “I express my gratitude to everyone and assure you that my family and I will always be indebted to you,” he wrote.
