The Modi government is facing a test from India’s daughters over its handling of the sexual harassment charges against Lok Sabha member and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the Congress said on July 11.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in a tweet, said that going by law and ethics, a person accused of atrocities against women should be removed from his post and a fair investigation ordered. The accused should then be arrested and punished in a court of law, she said.
“But in the BJP government, why is the one accused of atrocities against women players who brought laurels to the country protected and why is the matter being hushed up during investigation? Why is the entire government silent on this matter? Why is the accused still in the BJP and why has no action been taken?” Ms. Vadra asked.
