Indo-Canadian MP Darshan Kang, embroiled in charges of sexual harassment, has resigned from the caucus of the ruling Liberal Party even as a second woman levelled similar allegations against him. Kang will no longer be part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bench of MPs in the House of Commons. “I wish to focus my efforts at this time in clearing my name,” Kang said in a statement. He could face further trouble since another former staffer has alleged she too was sexually harassed by Kang while he was an MLA in the provincial legislature. The Toronto Star reported the House of Commons’ chief human resources officer, who is investigating Kang’s “conduct”, will also look into the new allegations by the second staffer.
