Manto Director #NanditaDas finally broke her silence over the sexual harassment allegations against her father, noted painter #JatinDas, stating that she will continue to lend support to the #MeToo movement.
According to the latest update, a woman, who is the co-founder of a paper-making company, Tuesday came forward to claim that she was sexually harassed 14 years ago by Jatin Das.
Now, Nandita Das has issued a statement on her social media profile. She wrote, “As a strong supporter of the #MeToo movement, I want to reiterate that I will continue to add my voice to it, despite the disturbing allegations made against my father, which he has categorically denied. I have maintained from the very start that this is the time we all need to listen, so that women (and men) feel safe to speak up. At the same time, it is also important to be sure about allegations so as not to dilute the movement”
“I am touched by the number of people - friends and strangers - who are concerned and are trusting my integrity. I do believe truth will prevail. And that is all I have to say on this matter”
Jatin Das is the latest addition to a growing list of men who have been named as part of the #MeToo campaign that has taken the country by storm.
The woman, Nisha Bora, took to Twitter to level the allegations against the noted painter. She wrote a long and detailed description of her horrid experience with the painter.
