After a US-based journalist accused MJ Akbar of raping her over two decades ago, the former minister has told news agency ANI that the two were in a consensual relationship which "perhaps didn't end on a best note". Over 20 former colleagues of MJ Akbar have called him out in the raging #MeToo movement. He sued one of them for defamation before resigning as junior foreign minister on October 17.
