The MeToo campaign has now taken an interesting turn. Ever since the hypocrisy of comedy group AIB was brutally exposed by Mahima Kukreja, the campaign has pulled many culprits out of their closets, including those whom none could think that they could commit such crimes. Be it Tanmay Bhat or Sajid Khan, Ajaz Khan or Vinod Dua, the hypocrisy of the left liberals on such issues
However, as feared by some, the MeToo campaign is also being exploited by some people with ulterior motives, who view this movement as the perfect opportunity to settle their personal scores. Into this scene, stepped in Dr. Jwala Gurunath, who mocked Twitter user Sonam Mahajan for sharing her ordeals, accusing her ‘fellow compatriot’ Tajinder Pal with the following tweet:-

It was just the perfect moment for our enlightened ‘JNU scholar’ Shehla Rashid to go on the offensive. In her reply to one Mugdha Deshmukh, who called her out for being a hypocrite on the case of Talib Hussain being accused of raping a JNU student, she posted the following tweet:-

https://twitter.com/Shehla_Rashid/status/1055376226360217600
However, Tajinder was not the one to take this double assault lying down. He gave a comprehensive reply as follows:-
Ms @Shehla_Rashid this fraud lady filed SC act against me in 2016 & lost,Now after 2 year come with new story but still If u think case is Real why dont u support instead begging 2 others.m giving u open challenge 2 Support her, giving u 48 hours uske baad I will release my proof https://t.co/I13JwfKcOA

Coming out cleanly on the allegations, Tajinder revealed that Dr. Jwala had filed a case on the same grounds, which was quashed by the Supreme Court in 2016. Taking cue from Karan Bhasin’s case, he challenged Shehla to bring proof, otherwise he wouldn’t hesitate from going on the offensive, even resorting to legal recourse if so needed.
Seeing another royal defeat like in the case of Karan Bhasin, Shehla tried to counter attack with the following tweets:-
Ap proof release kar do na apke pas jo hai. She's writing on social media. You can also respond. Who's stopping you? Why wait 48 hrs? Abhi kar do proof release.

However, Tajinder was more than prepared for that. Being a tad more savage than the sophisticated Karan Bhasin, he gave an answer that evoked applause and praise from all corners on Twitter:-
48 hours islie taaki apko ye na lge Defamation krne se pehle aapko mauka nhi dia. khair abhi bhi you have 43 hours lekin apki jankari ke lie bta du mere par kabhi Sexual harassment ka jeevan me koi case nhi rha, ye court order haihttps://t.co/SfsX51DmT5

Giving a clear warning that Shehla cannot get away with the ‘shoot and scoot politics’, he issued her another warning:-
44 Hours more @Shehla_Rashid Ji. Mere sath Hit and Run nhi chalega, My Name is Tajinder Bagga https://t.co/H2n012vXG5
— Tajinder Bagga (Modi Ka Parivar) (@TajinderBagga) October 25, 2018
Once Shehla Rashid accepted the proofs, Tajinder asked her to apologize for the false allegations, and when she denied to reply, he further revealed the hypocrite that the complainant, Dr. Jwala Gurunath was, in back to back tweets:-
One thing i forgot to tell you , Advocate General of Karnataka Govt was representing her case in Karnataka High Court, telling u so u can understand the political motive behind the case
— Tajinder Bagga (Modi Ka Parivar) (@TajinderBagga) October 25, 2018
According to the tweet, the Advocate General of the Karnataka High Court had represented the complainant in the false case against Tajinder. If this is not politically motivated, what is it?
Stung by the savage comeback, Dr. Jwala Gurunath issued a threat to the entire BJP IT cell if her alleged demands were not accepted:-

Had this been said by someone like M J Akbar or Alok Nath, the very cabal of left leaning liberals would’ve brought the house down. But now that the alleged victim is turning abusive, the very cabal is dead silent. Aren’t these double standards now?
To everyone’s surprise, Tajinder also demolished one notion that BJP supporters or BJP members are regressive and anti women. When one user went abusive on Shehla Rashid, Tajinder criticized his approach, warning him not to associate him with such abusive tweets:-
Don't tag me in this vulgur language. Respect women doesn't matter she belongs frm which ideology
— Tajinder Bagga (Modi Ka Parivar) (@TajinderBagga) October 25, 2018
To be honest, one must applause Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga for not losing his cool and taking the attention seeking Shehla and Jwala head on. On a lighter note, we wonder how much time do the two would need to say sorry, once their appeals are quashed.
