Amit Malviya, Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) information technology (IT) cell head, has slapped a legal notice on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) member Santanu Sinha, who had levelled charges of sexual exploitation of women against Malviya.
According to news agency ANI, Malviya’s legal notice to Santanu Sinha reads: “…The nature of allegations is extremely offensive in as much as they falsely allege sexual misconduct purportedly committed by my client. The same is fatally injurious to the dignity and reputation of my client who — by virtue of his professional profile — is a public figure…”
The notice served by Malviya sought the removal of Sinha's "false, and derogatory" post from the social media, a public apology and Rs 10 crore in damages.
The notice further read, "Further, I call upon you to pay a sum of INR 10 crore as civil damages for the mental harassment, agony and loss of reputation caused to my client that has been caused to my client via your Facebook post dated June 7, 2024," the letter continued, as reported by ANI.
The development comes after Sinha in a Facebook post on June 7, alleged that Malviya engaged in “nefarious activities” including sexually exploiting women.
Sinha, the brother of Rahul Sinha, a member of the BJP unit of West Bengal, told India Today, “I am not saying Amit Malviya did misconduct with women or exploited them. I have just raised a question – will the Bengal leaders keep their posts by supplying women to leaders like Amit Malviya or others? We did see such things happen in Bengal earlier. In 2021, we had cinema actors having no relation with politics and they were given tickets. But I will stick to my allegations that there are some men in Bengal BJP, who are enjoying posts by supplying women to leaders.”
Meanwhile the Congress has demanded the removal of Amit Malviya from the BJP IT cell in-charge post over allegations of sexual exploitation.
Congress leader Supriya Shrinate said, "An RSS member, Santanu Sinha, related to BJP leader Rahul Sinha, has said that the BJP IT Cell head, Amit Malviya, has indulged in nefarious activities. He indulges in the sexual exploitation of women. Not just in 5-star hotels but in BJP offices in West Bengal."
We demand one thing from the BJP: justice for women. Less than 24 hours after PM Modi's swearing-in ceremony, grave allegations of sexual exploitation have emerged against a prominent BJP figure, the chief of its IT cell," she said.

सवाल यह है कि- BJP की IT सेल है या दरिंदों का जमावड़ा

महिलाओं के खिलाफ होने वाले अपराध में हर बार आरोपी BJP का नेता ही क्यों होता है?
• BJP के पदाधिकारी पर गंभीर आरोप लगे हैं, लेकिन पूरी BJP चुप है।
• ऐसे आरोपों पर खामोशी का सच क्या है, आखिर इस पदाधिकारी को क्यों और किसके… pic.twitter.com/rzwDsOPBjp
