KUALA LUMPUR : The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality has urged PKR to conduct an internal investigation following a sexual harassment report lodged against the party's Sungai Siput MP S. Kesavan by a former aide.
"Political parties should not tolerate sexual harassment. We deserve elected representatives who respect women. The panel should review PKR's policies and response to sexual harassment generally,” said the coalition of 11 women’s rights organisations nationwide in a statement here on Friday . JAG said while police are investigating the matter, the existing criminal laws do not adequately cover sexual harassment and might not resolve the case.
