The sparks from the “Me Too” campaign has died out or become flames is a debatable topic but with MOS M.J.Akbar resigning from his post one can certainly say that voice of the next door common girl has not gone in vain.
Primarily more than a dozen female journalist have accused the BJP bigwig of making indecent proposals and sexual harassment, he was then on his official foreign trip to Nigeria.Soon after arriving and taking a barrage of questions he chose to play the offensive card by filing a defamation case against Priya Ramani,one of the victims. His alleged loathsome behaviour when he was associated with one of the big media house has been straightaway denied by him. He says that to malign him and tarnish his image which has been built after years of hard work is a pure case of conspiracy and political victimisation. He questioned the timing of these allegations and seems to be in no mood to back down.
Now with more than a dozen female journalist raising their voice against Akbar for his perpetual misconduct and inappropriate behaviour during certain stages of their career,the heat is certainly on the ex minister.
Now its for society to see whose way justice is headed and intimidation if any from the accused should be dealt in the strongest manner without the victims feeling vindicated.
