Full on drama going on right now at Jantar Mantar.

Scuffle between Delhi Police & dramebaaz wrestlers. Crocodile tears being shed by Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik & 'bangle-boy', Bajrang Punia

Victim cards being played. Full on entertainment going on...
Are they wrestlers or goondas? They can show their muscle power only on harmless, good people like #PTUsha

Why did they manhandle PT Usha? What wrong did she do?

Why's our intelligent media silent & not showing this incident? This is same toolkit on the lines of farmer protest.
After mistreating her, these wrestlers are shedding crocodile tears to divert attention by conducting a paid fake press media meet. Shameless souls ! All this done just to skip national events & want direct entry for int'l events & Olympics.

PT Usha’s historic run in the 400 m hurdles final in the 1984 Olympics was a heartbreaking loss for India but one that turned out to be as much of an inspiration as a victory.
In the years to come, she went on to set the tracks ablaze for the next few years, winning golds at the Asian Games and Asian Championships, setting records and being the darling of the crowd wherever she went.
