All Indian Congress Committee member
Deepthi Mary Varghese on Saturday urged the CPM leadership to disclose the
complaint of the victim and the report submitted by the party inquiry
Commission against P K Sasi MLA in the alleged sexual harassment case.
“The action taken by the CPM against the
MLA was only an eyewash. I have sought a copy of the report under the RTI Act
from the party. If the party refuses to provide a copy of the report as per the
Act, I will approach the court. People have the right to know.
‘Women’s safety’ was the prime slogan in
the CPM’s election manifesto. However, they have miserably failed to keep their
promise,” she said. Deepthi said she got information from reliable sources, the
offence committed by the MLA attracts section 354 (Assault or criminal force to
woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 354 (a) (Sexual harassment) and 509
(Word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman) of IPC.
