The big guns may maintain a safe silence on the #MeToo movement in India, or worse, collaborate with those accused. But it is relieving to see that the fight against sexual harassment continues unabated in the industry. After Sona Mohapatra countered Anu Malik's recent claims that the sexual assault allegations against him were "false and unverified", Tanushree Dutta — the torchbearer of #MeToo India — has now slammed the channel for their decision to reinstate the music composer as a judge on Indian Idol.
"What shocks me most is how Sony, which is supposed to be a family-friendly channel, has allowed such a person to remain as a judge when several talented and high-profile women have come forward with their stories of harassment against him. Are TRPs more important than human values? Shouldn't people who misbehave be held accountable for their deeds," questions Dutta. It may be recalled that several women, including singers Shweta Pandit, Neha Bhasin and producer Danica D'Souza, had accused Malik of sexual harassment, last year, leading to his ouster from Indian Idol 10.
