Goa Forward Party Vice President Ashma Sayed on Wednesday, December 1, demanded the resignation of a Cabinet minister who has been accused of an alleged sex scandal in the Pramod Sawant-led government.
Referring to Goa Pradesh Congress Committee Girish Chodankar's alleged accusation against a cabinet minister, Sayed addressed a press conference, saying that the continuation of this Minister in the BJP cabinet proves that this party does not have any morals.
“We want to know why BJP Mahila Morcha is mum over this issue, where one BJP minister sexually exploiting a woman,” Ashma said.
She has also asked BJP MLA Carlos Almeida, who has also raised their voice against this incident, to come clear over the incident and to name the minister.
Ashma said that her party stands with the issue taken up by Congress President Girish Chodankar.
“How can we expect safety for women by this BJP Government which is a partner in a crime and trying to shield its own minister,“ Ashma stated.
BJP is the party that doesn’t have any ethics and morals this incident has very much proved it. “Chief Minister Pramod Sawant should immediately sack this minister involved in the sex scandal,” she said.
