The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) has called for a ‘mahapanchayat’ in Sauram village, Muzaffarnagar, to discuss the ongoing protest by wrestlers and develop a strategy for resolution. Khap and farmer leaders from several states will be in attendance; however, the protesting wrestlers will not be attending. Sarv Khap secretary Subhash Balyan has invited 365 khaps from across India to join the discussion and twenty-eight khaps from western UP will attend. Naresh Tikait, chief of Balyan khap, said that the khaps want BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh to be arrested, and the matter to be resolved by the court of law. Top wrestlers, including Olympic medallists, had previously threatened to immerse their medals in the Ganga river. The BKU has given leaders five days to address the wrestlers’ grievances.
