Some of the women journalists who had spoken out against Union minister M J Akbar for alleged sexual misconduct welcomed his resignation Wednesday, saying they felt "vindicated", but noted that they had a long battle ahead for justice.
Akbar, the Minister of State for External Affairs, stepped down Wednesday, following a spate of allegations of sexual harassment during his days as editor of several publications.
Priya Ramani, the journalist against whom Akbar has filed a defamation case, said she looked forward to the day when she would also get justice in court.
"As women, we feel vindicated by Akbar's resignation. I look forward to the day when I will also get justice in court," she said
