The Congress hit out at Union home minister Amit Shah and the Delhi Police under him over a scuffle between police and the wrestlers at Jantar Mantar.

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday denounced the alleged misbehaviour by Delhi Police with protesting wrestlers as “shameful” and said the ‘Beti Bachao’ slogan of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was a “farce.” Posting the video of star women wrestlers Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat, who were visibly distraught after a scuffle with the Delhi Police on Wednesday night, Rahul Gandhi said the BJP has “never shied away from torturing the daughters of India.”
