The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) is likely to file a defamation case against Angkita Dutta, who was recently removed from her post as the Assam Youth Congress president. Dutta had accused IYC president Srinivas BV of harassing and discriminating her for being a woman and using vulgar language against her on Twitter.

The IYC legal cell has condemned Dutta’s allegations as “utterly unparliamentary, undignified, defamatory and malicious” and said that they are initiating strong and stringent legal action against her. Sources close to Srinivas said that Dutta was unhappy with her removal from the post and made false allegations to tarnish his image.
Dutta had claimed that she had been a loyal Congress worker for four generations and had faced police brutality and sexual harassment by the previous IYC president Keshav Kumar. She said that she kept quiet for the sake of the party but Srinivas’s harassment did not stop.
