This agitation is not over yet: Sakshi
After the action of Delhi Police, wrestler Sakshi Malik said that this agitation is not over yet.

In this whole matter, the opposition and civil organizations have criticized the police action. This issue also dominated the social media throughout the day, although there is no official response from the government and the BJP.
In a tweet, Sakshi Malik said, “After being released from police custody, we will start our Satyagraha back at Jantar Mantar. In this country, there will be no dictatorship, but the satyagraha of women wrestlers.
Sakshi Malik has also shared a video of the misbehavior with the wrestlers on Twitter. Commenting on this, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Twitter, "Such treatment of our sportspersons, who bring laurels to the country, is highly condemnable."
In another tweet, Sakshi Malik said, "It is a sad day for Indian sports. Brij Bhushan, the goon who sexually assaulted, is sitting in Parliament today and we are being dragged on the road.”
Speaking to the media, Olympic medalist wrestler Bajrang Punia said, “Our people are being detained. In Haryana, our people have been caught in Delhi.
