Khaps hold mahapanchayat today amid wrestlers' protest

Representatives of khaps or clan-based groups from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab Rajasthan and Delhi will meet in Muzaffarnagar on Thursday to discuss the ongoing protests by India's top wrestlers against sexual harassment, senior community leaders said, the first signs of a new mobilisation to back the protracted stir.

Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Naresh Tikait said a maha-panchayat will be held in Muzaffarnagar's Soram village on Thursday to discuss the protest by wrestlers against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over charges of intimidation and sexual harassment.

Tikait's comments came a day after he convinced Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Bajrang Punia, Rio Games bronze medallist Sakshi Malik, and double World Championship bronze medallist Vinesh Phogat - they have 45 senior international medals between them to hold off on immersing their medals in the Ganga amid high drama in Haridwar.
