Smita Sabharwal in an exclusive interview to NDTV.
IAS officer Smita Sabharwal has sued news magazine Outlook for sexist remarks about her. She has said that the magazine should apologise to women everywhere.
Here are five points the Telangana bureaucrat made to NDTV
If we continue to encourage and indulge in this kind of journalism, the world opinion remains the same about how we view ourselves and how we our women. To me, this is a personal agenda in the sense that I want Outlook to apologise to women across the country, across the world.
The caricature, the write-up hurt very badly.
It is a sense of professional pride. It's been 14 long years for me in this service with many milestones.
It made me think that if they can do this to a bureaucrat who is doing a serious job, possibly women across would be subjected to think kind of yellow journalism and it is high time we step up and put an end to it.
It is my personal life.what I wear and who I go out with - it is nobody's business except mine.
