AAP leader Ashutosh files NCW complaint against PM Modi, Amit Shah in Gujarat "snoopgate" case
Visiting the NCW office in response to a summon on Thursday, he also named BJP chief Amit Shah in his complaint in the form of a letter to Lalitha Kumaramangalam, the chief of the National Commission for Women. He was summoned for his defence of Sandeep Kumar's action as a private consensual act.
Lalitha Kumaramangalam later told media that they received a letter from Ashutosh and he will be given a reply.
Earlier Ashutosh was asked to appear before India's top women rights body even as the former journalist said it is time to wind up the state-run commission now headed by a "BJP" member.
After Ashutosh called the act of the former minister as one of consensual sex and not rape, which the former minister is now accused of by the woman in the video, he was rebuked by the NWC headed by Lalitha Kumarmangalam.
He also said that Lalitha Kumar Manglam is member of BJP national executive despite being NCW chief.
"Time to wind up 'sarkari' NCW? Summoning @ashutosh83B over a column? Nothing better to do?" he tweeted.
Ashutosh in his blog on NDTV wrote that "the sexual act was a private and consensual one, that the media over-reacted to the scandal and exaggerated its import, and that the party sacked Mr Kumar because of perception management."
