BJP Questions Congress Silence on Sexual Misconduct Allegations Against Jharkhand MLA
BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj accused Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, of remaining silent on serious sexual misconduct allegations against Congress MLA Bhushan Bara from Jharkhand. An FIR under the POCSO Act was filed after a 14-year-old tribal girl accused Bara of luring her with false promises and sexually exploiting her. Swaraj questioned Congress's commitment to women's safety, citing additional allegations against other Congress leaders, and criticized the party's use of slogans like 'Smash the patriarchy' amid these claims.
