Maneka Gandhi, the Union Women and Child Development Minister, said on Monday, 8 October that her ministry has written to the law ministry, requesting that sexual harassment complaints be allowed without any time limit.
According to the NDTV report, she also said that “anger at sexual molestation never goes away."
“You can now complain 10-15 years later, doesn’t matter how much later. If you’re going to complain the avenue is still open,” she said.
Maneka also weighed in on Tanushree Dutta’s allegations against Nana Patekar and came forward in her support. She assured that National Commission for Women would investigate every complaint.
According to NDTV, Maneka also said that while she was happy a ‘MeToo campaign’ had started, she hoped it "won't go out of control in the sense that we target people who've offended us in some way."
