"The #MeToo controversy has at least made men more conscious of their behaviour & women of their rights," said Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor in a series of tweets, as the #MeToo movement continues to gain momentum in India.

For those saying that these allegations are false, he said, "given that power equation, the best weapon victims have is to shame their tormentors by public exposure. Where charges are totally unfounded, the truth will emerge. But it takes a lot for women to come out &the wealth of detail suggests most of the #MeToo accusations are real."

From Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl, to Rajat Kapoor and Sajid Khan; many prominent personalities have found their names in the list of sexual offenders. Sadly, with each passing day, this list only continues to grow.
