Sexual Harassment and Injustice in Delhi
A female doctor at a Delhi government hospital has been subjected to ongoing sexual harassment by her Medical Superintendent (MS). Despite repeated complaints, no action has been taken against the perpetrator, and instead, an investigation has been launched against the victim.
This shocking incident has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the safety of women in Delhi. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Delhi L-G VK Saxena of shielding the accused and failing to protect the victim.
October 2023: The female doctor files a complaint against her MS for sexual harassment.
After months of suffering, an internal committee is finally formed to investigate the case.
The committee finds the doctor's accusations against the MS to be true.
No action has been taken against the MS, and the victim continues to face mental torture.
AAP alleges that the BJP and L-G are protecting the accused and have failed to take action against him.
The party demands the immediate arrest of the MS and the resignation of the L-G.
AAP also questions the role of the Health Secretary, Deepak Kumar, who allegedly refused to meet the victim and launched an investigation against her.
The L-G has countered AAP's accusations, stating that the proposal to transfer the accused MS has been pending with the National Capital City State Authority (NCCSA) since December 2023. The L-G also claims that the victim was transferred to her place of choice and that no investigation is being conducted against her.
This case highlights the urgent need for justice and protection for women in Delhi. The authorities must take immediate action against the accused MS and ensure the safety and well-being of the victim. The silence and inaction of the BJP and L-G are unacceptable and raise serious concerns about their commitment to women's safety.
It is crucial to hold those in power accountable and demand justice for the victim. The safety and dignity of women must be a top priority, and no form of harassment or abuse should be tolerated.
