Sex tape case: Should I be hanged for writing a column? Asks Ashutosh

After getting grilled by several leaders and activists Aam Aadmi Party senior leader Ashutosh posted a question on Twitter asking if he should be hanged for penning his thoughts.

"Should I be hanged for writing a column," Ashutosh tweeted on Monday evening, adding "Is India turning into a fascist state?"

He had written a column focusing on removal of one of his party leader Sandeep Kumar and his involvement in the sex tape case.
He earlier locked in a bitter war of words with NCW chief Lalitha Kumaramangalam after he was summoned by the women's body for defending sacked Delhi minister Sandeep Kumar.

"Ms Mangalam, as a chairperson of NCW, you should not lie on a national TV that u r not BJP member. Wikipedia writes You are still a member. Lalitha Kumar Manglam is member of BJP national executive/was national secretary of BJP. If I get notice from NCW, I will react (sic)," Ashutosh tweeted.

"I hope Lalitha Kumarmangalam, member of BJP Nat Ex/ chairman NCW is summoning every writer who wrote about consensual sex. NO pick and choose (sic)," he said in another tweet.

Reacting to it, Kumaramangalam said, "What kind of a journalist are you? You are two years behind time. I am not a member of BJP national executive. I was before. I am not even a spokesperson for the party. I was, before NCW. BJP has a strict rule of one person one post."

"The moment I was offered the chairmanship of NCW, I was told I can no longer be the spokesperson and national- executive member. I accepted the post on those terms. So, Ashutosh you should learn to get your facts right, especially as a journalist, before you issue a statement or tweet."
