Where will women go to register a protest? Will they have to remain silent forever?” SFI leader questions the establishment for closing their eyes to the crime.

People of the Country could not remain silent today when wrestlers of the country are being treated violently, and attempts are being made to intimidate them forcibly, which is shameful for the country.
