Ashutosh to meet NCW chiefover blog

Embroiled in controversy over his blog post defending sacked party minister Sandeep Kumar over an “objectionable” CD, Aam Aadmi Party leader Ashutosh will meet chairperson of the National Commission for Women Lalita Kumaramangalam on Thursday morning.

“I have decided to appear before NCW tomorrow as I have been asked by the panel, to present my views (sic),” the AAP leader tweeted on Thursday.

NCW summoned Ashutosh for his blog titled, “The Sex Was Consensual, Private Act. Why AAP Punished Its Man.” In the blog Ashutosh, referring to Sandeep Kumar, asked, “What wrong has the man done ” He wrote, “This video encompasses pictures of a man and woman indulging in a sexual act. The video clearly establishes that both individuals knew each other and consented to sex in a private space away from the public glare The question then is that if two consenting adults are physically involved with each other, is it a crime ” While issuing summons Ms Kumaramangalam said, “The summons are in response to what we feel is a very reprehensible and demeaning blog.”
