New Delhi: A delegation of women MLAs from the Aam Aadmi Party met the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Tuesday and demanded action against BJP IT department chief Amit Malviya.
Malviya on Monday sent a legal notice to a Kolkata-based lawyer for making "false and defamatory allegations" against him, demanding Rs 10 crore as civil damages for "mental harassment" and an apology for the same.
Meanwhile, the Congress had demanded at a press conference that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should sack Malviya as the head of its IT department over allegations of "sexual exploitation". The opposition party demanded an independent investigation against Malviya.
The delegation, led by AAP MLA and Deputy Speaker of Delhi Assembly Rakhi Birla, also submitted a memorandum at the NCW office here.
Birla said, "We have demanded the Commission to take cognizance within the next 48 hours and take strict action against Malviya, so that the trust of the women of the country remains intact in the Commission."
MLAs Pramila Tokas, Vandana Kumari, Preeti Tomar, party functionary Reena Gupta and Delhi state president of the party's women's wing Sarika Chaudhary were part of the delegation.
