NEW DELHI: Denying allegations that action was not taken against WFI ex-chairman Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for allegedly sexually harassing women wrestlers because he is a BJP MP, minister of sports and youth affairs Anurag Thakur said Friday the Centre favoured an early resolution of the row.
“But the due process of law must be followed. All of us are in favour of a speedy investigation. We expect the chargesheet to be filed soon. And there is no element of bias in the process,” he said.
