Karnataka's JD(S) Hassan MP, Prajwal Revamna, who is the grandson of former PM H D Devegowda, finds himself embroiled in a scandal involving alleged obscene 'sex videos' purportedly featuring him and his father.
The Karnataka police have also registered a case against him following an accusation of harassment from a woman who was employed as a house help at his residence.
Prajwal Revanna is facing multiple allegations of sexual abuse from different women. Unfortunately, this isn't an isolated incident in Indian politics, as the country has a disheartening history of influential politicians being accused of sexual crimes.
The egregious acts of sexual misconduct attributed to Revanna underscore a disturbing reality, yet the silence and indifference displayed by his political allies, BJP and JDS, in this egregious case are utterly shameful.
Despite being aware of the allegations against their coalition partner JD(S), the BJP actively campaigned for him. This raises serious questions among the women of this nation: Why do politicians often extend patronage and support to perpetrators of crimes against women rather than standing with the victims? It's a matter of national shame that demands reflection.
