(Mohanty with Godman Sri Sri)
An allegation of sexual harassment levelled against Orissa Assembly Speaker Maheshwar Mohanty by a woman marshal led to the adjournment of the House twice after he sought an impartial inquiry into the charge.
As soon as the House assembled this morning, the speaker made a suo motu statement referring to media reports about charges of sexual harassment of a woman marshal of the assembly levelled against him and proposed setting up of a House Committee to probe the matter.
Terming the allegation as false and baseless, he said it was the fallout of actions initiated against indisciplined employees and also part of a "conspiracy in which important persons were involved".
