  1. Its really saddening to see such champions including a minor being sexually assaulted by non other than the authority itself . The authority which is responsible for the safety of sportswomen .
    He is neither being arrested or being questioned directly . They must be punished so no other future sportsperson or any women has to suffer such molestation .

  2. Watch Indian news channels including wion, firstpost and also West's favourite Palki Sharma never ever to highlight the issue as it is. Hypocrisy is everywhere

  3. In india not single politician are good .all are fraud everyone work for own profit

  4. Mouth piece of Soros.😢

  5. Indians are disappointed with lack of freedom of speech in social media in regard to war in Ukraine.

    Double standards of white man and slavery of the rest.

  6. Support Wrestlers…Sad BJP for still not responding

  7. These are daily routines in India 😁

  8. may be in western countries, they will allow protesters walk towards the parliament 😀

  9. These are all wrong allegations. They have no proof, they are politically motivated. Why did they wait 7 years to report?

  10. She on you modi

  11. USA should invade India to bring freedom and democracy 🎉🎉

  12. Hence proved its staged drama to defame bjp and India by foreign funding for bjp and India enemies.We Indians are with bjp

  13. These wrestlers want direct qualification to olympics and they want their community dominance
    It was paid protest and useless allegations

  14. Fake protest and
    Political motivated game by wrestlers

  15. Sadly paid reporters are making it look like these wrestlers are heroes. Whereas Indians know that police has already found lies in their allegations

  16. Saddest truth of Indian government 🙂 BJP ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

  17. We support wrestlers from tamilnadu

  18. Whenever I am saddened by the terrible state of the U.S., there is always some new outage occurring in India that makes me think things aren't so bad here.

  19. Wonder why these wrestlers had to time it parliament opening 🤔
    No guess.
    Please throw the money you guys get along with medal 🤣

  20. Thanks for raising voice against facist Modi

  21. India will go any extent to protect criminal MP who has 30+ criminal charge in parliament. banana republic. Law is not equal. Shamelessly partial.

  22. Such a disgrace the way govt is treating the Olympic medal winners.

  23. This MP has confessed that he killed a man by shooting him. Open that case you pathetic police force

  24. so its illegal to protest but not illegal to r@pe women in this country?

  25. There are more gang rapes and femicides in India than the total population of many small countries or mass shootings in America. In other news, water is wet.

  26. India is so backwords. Im suprised they didn't stone the women

  27. india is still backwards and don't respect women , sadly a large amount of countries in the world don't do enough for women. This is bad, I know Indians around the world are embarrassed.

  28. india no room for a woman , they treat like sexualized doll. Modi the PM should have shame in doing this

  29. एक सपना हमें आया कि भारत के किसी बड़े नेता को लोगों ने पेट्रोल डाल कर जिन्दा जला दिया है। कुदरत करें एसा ना हो।।

  30. TREATING 🇮🇳 HEROS LIKE THAT IS A DISGRACE. TEXAS STANDS WITH THE INDIAN WRESTLERS 💪🏾😤

  31. India is one of the sheet hole countries of the world.

  32. India's class system is sick, but then so is india, VEDDY VEDDY SICK Brama Dung Tossers.
    And the hooks???

  33. Only in India, their men would molest manly women "reverse trans"

  34. "world biggest democracy" isn't that just a huge joke

  35. Please bow your head and say this prayer now 🙏🙏

                    "Carry our prayers up to Gods throne, that
                    the mercy of the Lord may quickly come
                    and lay hold of the beast,
                     the serpent of old, Satan
                    and his demons, casting him
                    in chains into the abyss, so that
                    he can no longer seduce the nations.
                   Thank you for everything
                     CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,
                          LORD GOD. Amen."

          If you can't look and remember the words, just read them while you have your head bowed and your hands in front of your face 🙏☺
