Haryana State Women’s Commission chairperson Renu Bhatia resigned from her post on Tuesday, citing a prolonged visit to the US as the reason for stepping down.
She thanked former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini for giving her the opportunity to serve.
“I will continue to fight for the rights and dignity of women. If entrusted with any responsibility in the future, I will discharge it with the same dedication and sincerity,” she stated.
Her resignation comes amid protests by nurses at government hospitals. They were reportedly upset over Bhatia’s alleged behaviour during a recent visit to a hospital where she had gone to inquire into allegations that a doctor had sexually abused a minor.
