However, before this meeting, the wrestlers have made it clear that they will not accept anything less than the arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, BJP MP and Wrestling Association President.

Before the meeting Thakur, Malik said, “We will see what the government proposes to us. Our main demand is the arrest of Brij Bhushan. If we like the government’s proposal, we will consult the other protesting leaders. We will not accept the XYZ proposal of the government. We will not end our movement.”

Earlier, on June 3 the wrestlers had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

After this, on June 5, Punia, Malik and Vinesh Phogat returned to their respective jobs in the Railways. However, the wrestlers had made it clear that they would continue the movement until women wrestlers get justice.
