#MeToo movement launched by people with 'perverted' minds, says Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan

Firstpost  

Akbar, who edited many mainstream publications before joining politics, resigned as junior external affairs minister Wednesday after a host of his former women journalist colleagues accused him of sexual harassment. Karur: In potentially controversial remarks that could provoke a backlash, Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan has said the #MeToo movement was started by “people with perverted minds” and wondered if it was fair to level accusations over incidents that happened years ago. The BJP leader made the comments on the sidelines of an event in response to questions by reporters Wednesday amid the raging #MeToo storm which has demolished the carefully cultivated reputations of many distinguished personalities in the field of media and entertainment industry including celebrated journalist MJ Akbar. “This is the result of the behaviour of some people who have perverted minds,” Radhakrishnan, Union Minister of State for Shipping and Finance said.
