As soon as he returned to New Delhi after completing an official trip to Nigeria, MJ Akbar said that there will be a statement later on. However, he dodged all other questions asked by the reporters and left straight for his official residence from the Delhi airport.

MJ Akbar has so far not responded to the charges.

According to the sources, Akbar is likely to present his defence to BJP leaders, following which the party will decide whether the former journalist will continue in the Union Council of Ministers.

Meanwhile, the Times of India quoted Amit Shah as saying, “Dekhna padega yeh sach hai ya galat… Is par zaroor sochenge (We have to see whether the allegations are true or false…We will definitely look into this).”

It is to be noted that the Times of India did not specify when and where Amit Shah said this.

Notably, at least eight women journalists have accused Akbar of sexual harassment and predatory behaviour.

While Priya Ramani was the first to expose MJ Akbar without taking his name as the ‘unnamed editor’, the last was Ghazala Wahab, an executive editor of Force magazine. In a detailed account written for The Wire, Ghazala Wahab described several instances where Akbar allegedly molested her by grabbing her, rubbing his body against hers and forcefully kissing her in his office.

Akbar was the editor of prominent newspapers like The Telegraph, Asian Age and The Sunday Guardian. He is currently a member of the Rajya Sabha.
