MJ Akbar Asked To Keep A Senior Minister In Loop:- The #MeToo movement has been shaking the nation and several businessmen, politicians and actors have been accused for harassing women. External affairs minister MJ Akbar has been facing allegations after several women stepped out alleging about his unusual behavior. The Government asked MJ Akbar to keep a senior cabinet minister in loop after the allegations. As many as 16 women accused him of sexually harassing them. MJ Akbar is yet to respond on this as he is out of country currently. A senior minister has been asked to speak on this as MJ Akbar remained unavailable.

A close source to MJ Akbar revealed that the government and the BJP leadership left it to Akbar. His legal team is in plans to put him in defence. There has been huge pressure because of several allegations being made on him. Akbar filed a defamation case against woman journalist Priya Ramani who publicly accused him of harassment. Several journalists stepped out to fund Priya Ramani's legal cost. Several celebrities, journalists and others supported her. Tushita Patel recently alleged that Akbar greeted her in a hotel room in his underwear and kissed her.
