Harassment complaint filed against Youth Congress’s chief
Hindustan TimesThe chief of Youth Congress’s Assam unit has filed a police complaint against the organisation’s national president Srinivas BV accusing him of being “sexist, chauvinistic and outraging a woman’s modesty”. “He heckled me holding my arm, pushing and pulling and threatening me using slang words, saying he will ruin my career in the Congress if I complained against him to the high office bearers of the party,” said Dutta’s complaint, a copy of which HT has seen. The Congress’s Assam unit on Thursday issued a show cause notice to Dutta asking her to explain her conduct despite assurances from party leadership that her grievances would be addressed. “Dutta has said she has been facing harassment for six months, but she informed Assam Congress chief Bhupen Kumar Borah about it only two days ago,” said Congress leader Debabrata Saikia.
