Aam Aadmi Party leader Ashutosh told the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Thursday to take cognisance of a case of snooping on a woman in Gujarat allegedly by Prime Minister Narendra Modi while he was heading Gujarat and BJP chief Amit Shah.
Ashutosh, who appeared before the panel in compliance with summons dated 5 September, told reporters later:
The NCW had summoned Ashutosh for writing an article in defence of sacked Delhi Minister Sandeep Kumar, which the women panel found “insulting and demeaning” towards women.
Sandeep Kumar was sacked from the cabinet by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after a sex tape featuring him surfaced last month.
He said that a tape of this matter is also in the public domain in which BJP President Amit Shah is supervising and monitoring intelligence agencies, but no action has been taken in this matter to this day.
Ashutosh attached a copy of Sharma’s affidavit as well as the audio clip along with his written reply.
Ashutosh said that if such a serious matter is not probed by NCW, the women of the country would lose faith in the body.
“(NCW Chairperson) Lalitha Kumaramangalam was gracious enough to accept that complaint and asked her office to register a complaint and initiate action against snooping,” he said.
