Why did Meenakshi Lekhi start running away on the question of female journalist? AAP shared the video of Union Minister
The opposition parties are not liking the attitude of the central government on the protest by the wrestlers. On Tuesday, the wrestlers had reached Haridwar on the pretext of their medals in the Ganges. Somehow they were stopped by persuasion. Here in Delhi also the atmosphere was hot. The government came under attack after forcibly evicting the wrestlers from Jantar Mantar. The echo of the case was also heard at the international level. Meenakshi Lekhi, Minister of State in the Ministry of External Affairs and Culture, was mobbed by reporters. Aam Aadmi Party has shared the video of this incident. A female journalist asked Lekhi a question about the wrestlers. Lekhi was asked, ‘You are a woman MP, why are you silent on this issue? Why is the Prime Minister silent? It is seen in the video that Lekhi is leaving from there, the speed of her steps becomes very fast after hearing the question. She says to her staff – Come on… Come on… After this Lekhi says that the process is going on under the law. When silence is questioned, Lekhi gets into her car and closes the door.

Congress also taunted by tweeting the video saying that ‘Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi gave a sharp reaction on the issue of women wrestlers’.

Agitating wrestlers including Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia handed over their medals to Tikait. Tikait said, so far no one from the government has come to talk to the wrestlers.
