MJ Akbar surrounded by #Metoo allegations

Surrounded by accusations of indecent treatment and sexual harrasment, Minister of State and External Affairs, MJ Akbar finally resigned from his post on Wednesday. However, calling all the allegations against himself as ill-founded, Akbar has filed a defamation case against the accuser, Priya Ramani. On the other hand, Ramani has expressed happiness over Akbar's resignation.

अनुचित व्यवहार और यौनशोषण के आरोपों से घिरे केंद्रीय विदेश राज्यमंत्री एम. जे. अकबर ने आखिरकार बुधवार को अपने पद से इस्तीफा दे दिया। हालांकि, खुद पर लगे आरोपों को बेबुनियाद बताते हुए, अकबर ने आरोप लगाने वाली पत्रकार प्रिया रमानी के खिलाफ दिल्ली की एक अदालत में मानहानि का केस दर्ज किया है। दूसरी ओर, रमानी ने अकबर के इस्तीफे पर खुशी जताई है।
