New Delhi - In a recent development that has sent shockwaves through India's political landscape, an RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) member has leveled serious allegations of 'sexual exploitation' against Amit Malviya, the head of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) IT cell. The Indian National Congress has seized upon these accusations, calling for Malviya's immediate removal from his position and an independent probe into the matter.
Allegations Surface
During a press conference on Monday, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate revealed that an RSS member, Shantanu Sinha, reportedly related to BJP Bengal office-bearer Rahul Sinha, has accused Malviya of engaging in "nefarious activities." These activities, according to Shrinate, include the sexual exploitation of women not only in 5-star hotels but also within BJP offices in Bengal.
Congress Demands Malviya's Removal
Shrinate emphasized the gravity of the accusations, stating, "It is a position of power and there can be no independent probe or justice unless or until he does not get removed from the position." The Congress party is pushing for Malviya's immediate removal to ensure a fair and unbiased investigation into the allegations.
Political Patronage Alleged
The Congress spokesperson also took aim at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of providing "political patronage to the perpetrators of crime." She cited the IIT-BHU gangrape case, claiming that the three accused individuals - Saksham Patel, Kunal Pander, and Anand Chauhan - have close ties to senior BJP leaders, including PM Modi.
Call for NCW Intervention
Shrinate called upon the National Commission for Women (NCW) to take suo-moto cognizance of the matter. She expressed hope that the new Minister of Women and Child Development would not remain a "mute bystander to women's plight" and urged the NCW to "find their voice, conscience, and morality" in addressing these serious allegations.
As this story unfolds, it remains to be seen how the BJP and the government will respond to these grave accusations and the calls for action from the opposition.
