President of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, currently accused in two FIRs regarding sexual assault, including one under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, has given a public call, stating, “Under the leadership of seers, we will force the government to change the (POCSO) law.”
Whether he will be able to do so or not remains to be seen. But it should be a matter of grave concern for everybody that Singh is an accused who has not only been intimidating witnesses against him, but he also feels that he has the clout to have the law itself challenged and changed.
