The National Commission for Women (NCW) has issued fresh summons to legislator P.C. George asking him to appear before it on October 4 for allegedly using abusive language against a nun who has accused a bishop of sexual abuse.
The NCW had earlier asked Mr. George to appear before it on Thursday. However, Mr. George said he received the letter only on September 17 and would not be in a position to come to New Delhi at such a short notice.
“I have a lot of engagements as an MLA, including official engagements. Moreover, I am fully engaged with flood relief activities. Hence kindly adjourn the matter to another date by giving me sufficient time to reschedule my engagements,” Mr. George said in a letter to NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma.
Ms. Sharma, in response, rescheduled the summoning date of Mr. George to October 4, saying he needs to give an explanation.
