Mr Tikait said the tri-colour has been shamed and it will not be tolerated.
"We will help the wrestlers in every possible manner," he said, adding that it will be a long haul and it may spread to the entire country.
Advertisement"It (Jantar Mantar) will remain the protest site as of now. The protest will gather momentum and spread. We have to be prepared for a long battle," he added.
"This is not a political protest, this is a non-political organisation. But a few politicians have come in support of the wrestlers, cutting across party lines." Mr Sirsa said, "We have also decided that we will force the government to arrest Brij Bhushan. The way farmers had fought their battle (against farm laws), the wrestlers will continue their struggle in the same way." "I request that the government does not test our patience. They had tested us some time back and we had cleared the exam," Sirsa said, referring to the farmers' victory in getting the farm laws repealed.
Vinesh Phogat, the world championship medallist, also hinted that the protest may become bigger if their demands are not met.
"We can take a big call if a resolution does not come by May 21. No one has hijacked our protest, it's just that people have joined us in our fight against injustice. These people respect us and care for our dignity," she said.
"All the women can connect to this battle of ours. The supporters have given us strength. We are ready to fight." Asked if they are mentally prepared to shun training and competition for a long time, she replied in negative.
"We will compete definitely. We will prepare a plan how to go about it. We will surely go for competitions." "We have just one demand that Brij Bhushan should be first arrested and then his interrogation should take place," she said.
