#ArrestCharanjitChanni Trends On Twitter As 'Me Too' Shadow Looms Over Punjab CM-Designate

The #MeToo controversy looms over Punjab Chief Minister-designate Charanjit Singh Channi, who was accused of sending indecent messages to a senior woman IAS officer.

The controversy came to light in October 2018 when Channi was the Technical Education Minister, and then Chief Minister Amarinder Singh had said the matter was brought to his notice and that it was "resolved" to the satisfaction of the woman officer concerned.

In another tweet he stated, "In the last few days, Congress in Rajasthan passed a bill to register child marriages, giving it legitimacy and robbing young girls of their growing up years, and now has elevated a #MeToo accused as CM of Punjab. Let’s wait for Rahul Gandhi to pontificate on women empowerment…"

Various social media users shared the reports of allegations against the Punjab CM-designate and demanded his resignation.

Another remarked, "Talking of women's respect by @INCIndia is just a pretense. Charanjit Singh Channi has proved that the constitution should be same for all. Now #ArrestCharanjitChanni."
