Now, Smriti Irani has reacted to the allegations.
Union Minister Smriti Irani, who handles the Ministry of Women and Child Development, spoke to Republic and said, “I am in a Constitutional position that oversees the National Commission for Women. NCW has made a public statement, hence it will be inappropriate for me to digress and get into their constitutional area about how they want to go ahead with a particular case." The National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma had replied to Payal Ghosh’s tweet.
Rekha Sharma wrote, “You may send me the detailed complaint at chairperson-ncw@nic.in and @NCWIndia will look into it.” Replying to this, Payal Ghosh stated that she will do that.
Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap’s lawyer Priyanka Khimani has issued a statement on his behalf, and wrote that Anurag Kashyap has been deeply pained by the false allegations of sexual misconduct against him. It stated that the allegations are completely false. Yesterday, Anurag Kashyap’s first wife Aarti Bajaj also defended Anurag Kashyap and called the allegations against him the ‘cheapest stunt’ she has seen till date.
