Union sports minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday (June 7) invited India's top wrestlers who have been protesting against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over sexual harassment charges, to discuss their concerns. This came just days after the grapplers met union home minister Amit Shah to discuss the same issue, but saw a no deal.

“The government is willing to have a discussion with the wrestlers on their issues. I have once again invited the wrestlers for the same,” Anurag Thakur wrote on Twitter at midnight.
