The BJP dropped sexual harassment accused Brij Bhushan Singh, only to filed his son Karan Bhushan Singh from Kaiserganj instead.

'Shameful, politics of proxy': opposition slams BJP for fielding Brij Bhushan's son from Kaiserganj

The BJP dropped sexual harassment accused Brij Bhushan Singh, only to filed his son Karan Bhushan Singh from Kaiserganj instead.

The Congress, the TMC and the Shiv Sena have criticised the BJP for giving a party ticket to Karan Bhushan Singh, the son of former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Singh, accusing the ruling party of rewarding one who is facing charges of sexual harassment of women wrestlers.
Ending weeks of speculation, the BJP on Thursday named Karan Bhushan Singh as its Lok Sabha candidate from the Kaiserganj seat in Uttar Pradesh, replacing his father and incumbent MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is facing criminal charges of sexually harassing women wrestlers.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, "Just when we thought that the Prajwal Revanna scandal had exposed the depths of the BJP&rsquo;s depravity, they show that there are always new lows for them to fall to. They have now rewarded Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of sexual harassment by many of our women wrestlers, with a ticket for his son." "This is a party with no moral compass, led by a man whose only anchor is his desire for boundless power," Ramesh said in a post on X, using the hashtags "#ModiMaafiMaango" and "#HaathBadlegaHalaat".
In a post on X in Hindi, Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said, "Father Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's ticket to son. Do you talk of giving justice to women like this?" "You put one's hat on another's head. You are trying to befool public. Shameful," she said.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) also slammed the BJP for giving the Lok Sabha poll ticket to Brij Bhushan Singh's son.
TMC Rajya Sabha MP Sagarika Ghose said the BJP dropping incumbent MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh only to field his son from the Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat in UP is "shameful" and a case of "politics of proxy".
This also shows that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not ready to condemn the "sexual assault" committed by Brij Bhushan Singh, she said.
"That the BJP has given a ticket to Karan Singh, who is the son of its former star MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, is shameful and disgraceful. Mr Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has been accused of serious sexual assault by none other than India's Olympic medal winning women wrestlers," she said.
Brij Bhushan Singh, who stepped down from the post amid a raging protest against him over the sexual harassment allegations by women wrestlers, has denied the charges. The Delhi Police has filed a charge sheet against him in the court.
"He has also been accused under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act for sexual offences against children... To give a ticket to Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's son is nothing but the politics of proxy. Karan Singh is a proxy for his father," Ghose said.
"It shows that the BJP is not willing to condemn the sexual assault committed by Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh" and its slogans on women empowerment are "hollow", she said.
The BJP's slogans of "Nari Shakti, Nari Samman and Beti Bachao" are all "hollow, shallow, meaningless and bogus", Ghose said and added that "it says it stands for Nari Samman but has given a ticket to a proxy of someone who is accused of serious sexual assault and assault against women".
"Second, BJP says it's against Parivarwad or family politics... What is this but dynastic politics? The fact is, Mr Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's other son is already an MLA. Now, his other son has also got an MP ticket," she said.&nbsp;

"Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's goons have become active," wrestler Sakshi Malik said while explaining her mother has recieved threats.

Brij Bhushan Singh’s goons threatened my mother: Wrestler Sakshi Malik alleges

"Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's goons have become active," wrestler Sakshi Malik said while explaining her mother has recieved threats.

Wrestler Sakhi Malik revealed that her family was getting threats by the goons of former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) boss Brij Bhushan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple athletes.&nbsp;
&ldquo;For past two-three days, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's goons have become active. My mother is getting threats through phone calls,&rdquo; the wrestler said. &ldquo;People are calling and saying that a case will be registered against someone in my family,&rdquo; she added.
Sakshi, 31, said they will accept a WFI without Sanjay Singh but ruled out her own involvement in running the federation.
"We don't have any issues with the new federation except one man, Sanjay Singh. We don't have any issue if the new body comes back without Sanjay Singh. We do not have any issue with the ad-hoc committee as well," Malik told reporters.
Malik was also informed of the ongoing junior wrestlers' protest against them at New Delhi&rsquo;s Jantar Mantar. &ldquo;I have given 18-20 years to wrestling. Only I know what I have gone through in the last few months,&rdquo; she responded.

Can&rsquo;t keep &lsquo;honour&rsquo; when women wrestlers are insulted: Punia

Olympic Bronze Medallist Bajrang Punia has decided to return his Padma Shri award, the country&rsquo;s fourth highest civilian honour, back to the government.
Bajrang, a key figure in the wrestlers&rsquo; protest against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Chief Brij Bhushan Singh, penned a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the election of Sanjay Singh as the new President of the WFI. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/others-sports/new-wfi-chief-sanjay-singh-is-he-bjp-mp-brij-bhushan-singh-s-proxy-1703178927797">Sanjay Singh is a close aide of Brij Bhushan</a>.
In his letter, Bajrang expressed his inability to retain the 'honour' of the Padma Shri, considering the current plight of female wrestlers in India.
He shared his thoughts on social media, stating that he cannot hold onto the government's awards, including the Arjuna Award and Khel Ratna, given the unsafe environment for his female counterparts in wrestling.

<h2>Brij Bhushan Singh's lawyer, arguing on behalf of the former WFI chief, claimed that hugging or touching without sexual intent didn't amount to an offence.</h2>

BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, former Wrestling Federation of India chief who has been accused of sexual harassment by women wrestlers, has asserted before a Delhi court that hugging or touching a woman without any sexual intent should not be considered an offence. His remarks came as he opposed the framing of charges against him during the court proceedings.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal commenced the hearings on Wednesday to deliberate on whether charges should be framed against Brij Bhushan and his co-accused, suspended WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar.
Brij Bhushan's lawyer, Advocate Rajiv Mohan, argued that the allegations were time-barred, and contended, "If we take these allegations, Indian jurisdiction only lies in three of these allegations. The offences committed outside India cannot be tried by the court due to the lack of sanction. Two offences are related to Ashoka Road and Siri Fort. Offence at Siri Fort is only of hugging... Touching a woman without a criminal force or sexual intent is not an offence" Bh
Advocate Rajiv Mohan further claimed that in the context of wrestling, where male coaches are more common and often express joy or anxiety through physical contact, actions like hugging players should not be deemed as offensive.
The Delhi Police had filed a charge sheet against Brij Bhushan Singh on June 15, under sections 354, 354-A, 354-D, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, encompassing assault or criminal force to a woman with intent to outrage her modesty, sexual harassment, stalking, and criminal intimidation.
The court proceedings will resume on Thursday. Brij Bhushan Singh and Vinod Tomar were granted bail on July 20 with specific conditions, including not leaving the country without court permission and refraining from influencing witnesses.
