Wrestlers' protest: Khap mahapanchayat today; security tightened. Top points

As khap panchayat leaders from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana are marching to Jantar Mantar on Sunday to extend support to the protesting wrestlers, the Delhi Police has beefed up the security at the protest venue and at borders. India's top wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat, are protesting for the last two weeks, demanding the sacking of Wrestling Federation of India president and BJP MP Brij Bhushan and his arrest over charges of alleged sexual harassment of female grapplers.

1. The protesting wrestlers are hoping that the khap mahapanchayat will be of huge success and will help in getting more support for them in their fight against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

2. The Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) and the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU-Tikait) have also extended support to the agitation and threatened to lay a siege to New Delhi, along with the khap leaders, if the MP was not arrested within one week, The Indian Express reported.

3. BKU leader Rakesh Tikait is likely to be present. He tweeted a video announcing that khap leaders will hold a panchayat at the protest site to decide the course of the protest.

4. Additional deployments will be made and areas near Jantar Mantar will be barricaded, some reports indicated. Delhi Police officials said there was no specific security plans for the candlelight march, but said tractors and slow-moving vehicles trying to enter the border would not be allowed and precautions will be taken to maintain peace and order.

5. Vinesh Phogat urged the supporters to be peaceful on Sunday so that bad elements do not hijack the protest. She also requested the police not to stop their supporters.

6. Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia has appealed to the countrymen to observe a candlelight march on Sunday to show solidarity with the protesting wrestlers. Punia said the two committees formed on Saturday have the full authority to decide their future course of action.

7. Another Olympic medallist wrestler Sakshi Malik said they are yet to decide the future course of action as their lawyers are still working on it. She also said sports minister Anurag Thakur was yet to approach them. "He already knows our demands, so it doesn't make sense to meet him again. If he wants to talk to us, we will definitely talk," Malik told reporters.

8. Subhash Baliyan, Sarv Khap general secretary, said around a dozen khap panchayats have decided to join the wrestlers in their protest and will remain with them till their demand is fulfilled.

Manipur death toll crosses 50 as CM holds all-party meet, Army steps in

At least 52 people have been killed in Manipur since violent clashes between the Meitei and Kuki communities broke out Wednesday even as Chief Minister N Biren Singh held an all-party meeting Saturday and a video conference with security personnel calling for calm and an end to violence.

Late Saturday night, Singh said that with the “law and order situation” improving in Churachandpur district and after talks “between the state government and various stakeholders, I’m pleased to share that the curfew will be partially relaxed.”

At a press conference at the CM Secretariat Saturday night, Security Advisor to the Manipur Government, Kuldiep Singh, said that Article 355 has not been promulgated in the state and that “confusion had been created by certain elements”.

“Action will be taken up against all those who have taken the law in their hands, including those who are under Suspension of Operation agreement with the state and Centre,” he said. He added that the government will facilitate evacuation of all those who are stranded “in a time-bound manner” to ensure their safety.

The death toll of 52 is according to estimates of bodies received and the number of injured who were brought to three key hospitals, their officials have told The Indian Express.

The state government or police have not released the official toll so far. On Friday, P Doungel, Director General of Police (DGP), Manipur, had cited security reasons for the decision.

In Churachandpur, seven of the deaths took place on Friday, including three in an alleged incident of security personnel opening fire on people who had allegedly tried to stop the evacuation of Meiteis from the area.

According to the Chief Medical Officer of Churachandpur District Hospital, 12 bodies have been brought to the mortuary since violence broke out on May 3, of which three were brought in following Friday evening’s shooting.

According to another senior doctor at the hospital, two others were critically injured in the incident, while four bodies were brought in earlier in the day.

At the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal West, 26 bodies, including of two women, have been brought to the mortuary by security personnel during the course of the violence, senior hospital officials said. So far, only one body has been claimed by a family from Nambol in Bishnupur district.
