Wrestling Federation of India chief and Member of Parliament for Bharatiya Janata Party from Kaiserganj constituency Brij Bhushan Singh took a jibe at protesting wrestlers on Tuesday.

The minister, who is currently facing trouble due to the sexual harassment accusations, was speaking at the function organised on the occasion of Maharana Pratap's birth anniversary at Devlas Temple in Muhammadabad, Mau.

"When did it happen? Where did it happen? What happened? How did it happen? Haven't told yet," asked BJP minister.

Ready for narco test if Phogat and Punia take it too: Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh 

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on Sunday said that he is willing to take a drug test if wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia also take it.

WFI chief made the remark in a Facebook post.

"I am ready to undergo narco test, polygraph test or lie detector test, but my condition is that Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia should also take them with me. If both the wrestlers agree for the same, call a press conference and make announcement. I promise them that I am ready for the test," he posted in Hindi.

"I stand by my word even today and promise the countrymen to remain steadfast forever. Jai Shri Ram," Singh added.

The protesting wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and Sakshi Malik, have been protesting at Delhi's Jantar Mantar since April 23, accusing the BJP MP of sexual abuse.

On Sunday, the MP also held a meeting for the public in this Uttar Pradesh district.

"I don't understand that the children for whose success I sacrificed everything, have become toys of politics today," said the BJP leader while speaking at the meeting.

"Even after four months, they do not have any audio, video or any other recording to prove allegations against me. Story after story is being told. They should know that the whole country is angry today. People of all castes and religions are standing with me," Singh claimed.

In the meantime, the wrestling federation's activities have been immediately suspended by the Sports Ministry until the wrestlers' claims are investigated.
