India’s one of the most popular TV reality shows, Bigg Boss is barely two weeks old, and it is making headlines for various reasons. However, the participation of filmmaker Sajid Khan has been in question since day one. Now, Delhi Commission of Women chief Swati Maliwal has also reacted to the same.
DCW chief has written to Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur demanding the ouster of filmmaker Sajid Khan from the reality show over allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by several women during the #MeToo movement.
In Hindi, Ms Maliwal wrote, “Ten women had accused Sajid Khan of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement. All these complaints show the disgusting mentality of Sajid. Now, this man has been given a place in Bigg Boss, which is wrong. I have written to @ianuragthakur to have Sajid Khan removed from this show,” on Twitter in Hindi.
साजिद खान के ख़िलाफ़ 10 महिलाओं ने #MeToo मूव्मेंट के दौरान यौन शोषण के आरोप लगाए थे। ये सभी कम्प्लेंट साजिद की घिनौनी मानसिकता दिखाती है। अब ऐसे आदमी को Bigg Boss में जगह दी गयी है जो कि पूरी तरह ग़लत है। मैंने @ianuragthakur जी को पत्र लिखा है की साजिद खान को इस शो से हटवाएँ! pic.twitter.com/4ao9elyvkk
