Making ‘Me Too’ accused Charanjit Singh Channi Chief Minister is betrayal, threat to women’s safety: NCW chief

Recalling that Channi was accused during the ‘Me Too’ movement in 2018, Sharma said that he was not worthy to become CM.

New Delhi: On the day Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi was made the Chief Minister of Punjab, National Commission for Women chief Rekha Sharma hit out at the decision calling it a threat to women’s safety.

Recalling that Channi was accused during the ‘Me Too’ movement in 2018, Sharma said that he was not worthy to become CM.

“Allegations were levelled against him (Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi) during Me Too movement in 2018. The State Women Commission had taken a suo moto cognizance of the matter and the chairperson sat on a dharna demanding his removal but nothing happened,” Sharma said.
