Congress expels Angkita Dutta from the party after she files police complaint against party's youth wing president Srinivas BV

 On Saturday, April 22, the Congress party expelled Assam Pradesh Youth Congress President, Angkita Dutta, from the primary membership of the Congress party for six years for ‘anti-party activities.’ 

Meanwhile, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma slammed the Congress on Friday (April 21) for improperly handling the harassment charges by Angkita Dutta against the national president of the party’s youth wing, Srinivas BV. He assured that the Assam police would intervene in the matter if the Congress party failed to resolve it.

Assam Congress sends show cause notice to Angkita Dutta

Prior to this, on April 20, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) issued a show cause notice to Dr Angkita Dutta over the allegations she leveled against IYC National President and Rahul Gandhi’s close aide Srinivas BV. 

APCC President Bhupen Kumar Borah issued the notice seeking an explanation from the former President of Assam Pradesh Youth Congress Dr Angkita Dutta as to why disciplinary actions should not be taken against her. She was given two days to respond.

Notably, on the same day, Angkita Dutta filed a police complaint against Srinivas at Dispur Police Station in Guwahati alleging harassment. In the complaint, she alleged that Srinivas made sexist comments, used abusive language, and mentally harassed her. She also added that he threatened her with dire consequences if she complained about him to the senior office bearers.

In the complaint, she narrated a recent incident in Chhatishargar, where Srinivas allegedly held her arm, pushed and pulled her, and used slang words to threaten her. 

Indian Youth Congress sends legal notice

The show cause notice came two days after Roopesh S Bhadauria, National Chairman of the Indian Youth Congress Legal Cell, sent a legal notice to Dr Angkita Dutta. The notice was sent on behalf of Srinivas. In the notice, it was claimed that Srinivas was a “well-known public figure”, and the allegations levels by Dutta in tweets and other statements were “sexist, chauvinistic, false and frivolous”, and the language used was “unparliamentary, undignified, defamatory and malicious”.

Days after harassment complaint against BV Srinivas, Assam Youth Congress chief Angkita Dutta expelled from party

 

Days after harassment complaint against BV Srinivas, Assam Youth Congress chief Angkita Dutta expelled from party |

Assam Youth Congress chief Angkita Dutta was expelled on Saturday as per a statement from the party. The move came just days after she accused party president Srinivas BV of harassment earlier this week.

Dutta had accused the organization’s national president, Srinivas BV, of sexual harassment and filed a police complaint against him. Dutta alleged that Srinivas BV mentally harassed her for six months, making sexist comments and threatening her if she complained to higher-ups in the party. She also accused him of physically harassing her and using abusive language during the Congress’ plenary session in Chhattisgarh in March.

Repeated complaints ignored

Despite repeated complaints, the Congress party took no action against Srinivas BV, according to Dutta’s complaint. She had asked the police to register a case, and they are currently looking into the allegations. The Congress’ Assam unit then issued a show cause notice to Dutta, asking her to explain her conduct despite assurances from party leadership that her grievances would be addressed.

Angkita Dutta submitted her reply to the show-cause notice for going public with allegations of harassment and gender discrimination against the Indian Youth Congress president without first informing the party leadership.

The reply forwarded to the All India Congress Committee (AICC) for necessary action, he said on Friday.

Criticism on Congress' move

BJP's national IT wing chief Amit Malviya launched a scathing attack at the Congress party in his latest tweet on his Twitter handle. He accused the party of hampering the idea of women empowerment. He also stated that dismissal of Angkita from Congress is uninspiring for women.

Posting an image of the Congress party's order against Angkita Dutta, Malviya said, "This is Congress’s model of women empowerment! Sack the woman who alleged harassment instead of providing a platform to hear her grievances. The manner in which Angkita Dutta has been removed from the Congress is uninspiring for women. लड़की हूँ, लड़ सकती हूँ is a hollow slogan."

About Dutta's allegations

Dutta, in a series of Tweets on Tuesday, had alleged that IYC president Srinivas B V was a "sexist and chauvinistic" person, who has been harassing her and discriminating based on gender.

Dutta had also claimed that she had informed the matter to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, but no enquiry was ordered.

She filed a complaint at the Dispur police station here on Wednesday, alleging Srinivas was "harassing and torturing her for the last six months by making sexist comments, using slang words and also threatening her with dire consequences if she keeps complaining against him to the senior party office bearers".

She also alleged that during the party's plenary session at Raipur in February, the accused had heckled her and threatened to ruin her political career.
