The CPI(M) has constituted an internal committee to look into complaints of sexual harassment, the Women and Child Development Ministry said on Thursday, noting it is the only political party to have responded to its official communication in the matter so far.
In the backdrop of the 'Metoo' movement, Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi on October 18 urged all recognised political parties to form internal committees immediately to look into complaints of sexual harassment.
Gandhi said she has written to six national parties and 59 regional parties to form internal complaints committee against sexual harassment and post information on it on their websites.
A senior WCD official said CPI(M) was the only political party to have responded to its official communication in the matter
