Hours before the media confrontation, Lekhi had inaugurated a toilet and water cooler in Delhi’s Connaught Place.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also took a dig at Lekhi’s response and called her “shameless minister.”

‘Shameless minister’ Meenakshi Lekhi ran away after hearing the question related to wrestlers Journalist: “You are a woman MP” why are you silent on the issue of wrestlers, and “why is the Prime Minister silent”?”

In the wrestlers protest so far
