Rum Pao Mro and her family told the press at a conference yesterday that they were enraged by the images being strewn across social media, and the misinterpretation. In the photos, Kalam is seen embracing Rum Pao, who was described as looking uncomfortable, and at least in one image, trying to remove herself from his arms. Local sources said he embraced Rum Pao after she greeted him with putting a flower garland around his neck. “No one dared to stop the public sexual harassment of an indigenous woman,” she wrote. “Chairman Abul Kalam did nothing against my will,” Rum Pao told journalists at Kalam’s home in Ali Kadam on Monday afternoon.
