Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president BrijBhushan Sharan Singh said on Monday that all wrestling activity had come to a standstill in the last four months due to protests by country's top wrestlers.
BrijBhushan added that he is ready to be "hanged" but wrestling activity, including national championships and camps, should not stop.
'Don't play with the future of children. Allow the cadet nationals to take place, whosoever organises it... be it Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, but don't stop the wrestling activity,' said Brij Bhushan in an interaction with the media.
Top Indian wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat, among others are protesting at the Jantar Mantar in the national capital demanding action against Brij Bhushan, who they have accused of sexually harassing women grapplers.
