The Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) strongly convicted the act that outrages the modesty of any individual after Tanushree Dutta accusation on actor Nana Patekar of sexual harassment.
In a statement which was released to media, the officials stated, "CINTAA strongly condemns any act that outrages the modesty of any individual and any form of sexual harassment is unacceptable to us. After going through Tanushree Dutta's complaint, which was filed with the then Executive Committee of CINTAA in March 2008, we feel that the decision was taken in the Joint Dispute Settlement Committee of CINTAA and Indian Film and TV Producers Council (which was then known as Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers) in July 2008 was not appropriate, as the chief grievance of sexual harassment wasn't even addressed."
The actress had first levelled harassment allegations against Nana in 2008 after the incident took place on the sets of the film "Horn 'ok' Pleassss". Lately, while talking to a popular entertainment channel Tanushree said that the #MeToo movement will never arrive in India because of the industry's hypocrisy. Later the discussion refreshed her unpleasant experience and allegations.
The CINTAA officials have urged every member of their association to file the complaint of sexual harassment immediately after facing it, the authority mentioned, "Unfortunately, CINTAA's constitution bars us from taking up any case which is more than three years old. Hence, we appeal to the authorities to take cognizance of Ms Dutta's statements and conduct an impartial and speedy enquiry so that truth and justice may prevail."
