The Congress party has expelled Angkita Dutta, the former chief of the party’s youth wing in Assam, who accused the organization’s national president, Srinivas BV, of sexual harassment.
Dutta had filed a police complaint against Srinivas BV, alleging that he mentally harassed her for six months, making sexist comments and threatening her if she complained to higher-ups in the party. She also accused him of physically harassing her and using abusive language during the Congress’ plenary session in Chhattisgarh in March. Despite repeated complaints, the Congress party took no action against Srinivas BV, according to Dutta’s complaint.
The Congress’ Assam unit then issued a show cause notice to Dutta, asking her to explain her conduct despite assurances from party leadership that her grievances would be addressed. BJP's national IT wing chief Amit Malviya criticized the Congress party's move, accusing them of hampering the idea of women empowerment.
