Congress’ Ramya Haridas wrote a letter on Monday to Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla alleging assault by a BJP MP inside the Parliament. She has claimed to be repeatedly assaulted in the Parliament.
” On March 2 at 3 PM inside Lok Sabha I was physically assaulted by the MP Ms Jaskaur Meena. Is this repeatedly happened to me just because I am Dalit and woman?. I request you to take action against the said MP. (sic),” the letter read.
Check out the letter:
In her complaint to Birla, she asked if such things were repeatedly happening to her because she was a Dalit and a woman. She sought action against the BJP MP.
During the Winter Session last year, the Congress had alleged that two of its women parliamentarians, including Haridas, were “manhandled” by marshals in the Lok Sabha when they were protesting in the Well of the House over the Maharashtra government formation. Both the MPs had lodged a complaint with Speaker Birla.
