BJP leader V Muraleedharan on Tuesday lambasted Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for failing to act on the Hema Committee report, submitted 4.5 years ago, which exposed widespread harassment and exploitation of women in the Malayalam film industry.
Last month, a redacted version of the Justice Hema Committee report on harassment faced by women in the Malayalam cinema industry was made public. It contains shocking accounts alleging harassment, exploitation, and ill-treatment of women professionals.
Congress leader Satheesan also alleged that Kerala Culture Minister Saji Charan was "trying to avoid" an investigation and demanded that he resign immediately.
