Letter Published in The National UAE on 22Oct 18I write in reference to your article On the coat-tails of #MeToo, is it finally time for a big Bollywood clean-up? (October 11): finally MJ Akbar has resigned amid the #MeToo controversy.
The recent allegations against the former Indian minister for external affairs from various journalists, his denial and now his resignation are dramatic developments.
He could have stepped down as soon as allegations arose but his resignation is nevertheless welcome. Now the ball is in his court to prove his innocence. Will he succeed in his mission?
There is much at stake here both for the journalists who complained about their former boss and anyone accused of such allegations. Where cases are proven, authorities must act on complainants’ grievances.
My appeal to all bosses out there is to treat your employees with dignity and consider them your equal, regardless of gender or status
