New Delhi: Former additional solicitor general Indira Jaising has written a letter to the governing body of TERI demanding RK Pachauri's resignation. She questioned how Pachauri was allowed to have the "extraordinary benefit" of going on leave saying it adds "insult to injury".
"The governing body members are well known people. They should not allow someone to go on leave. There should be termination or at least disciplinary inquiry should be initiated," Jaising said.
Buffeted by allegations of sexual harassment, Pachauri on Tuesday had quit as Chairman of UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), whose meeting he was prevented from attending.
TERI, a research institute focusing on energy, environment and sustainable development, had also announced that Pachauri has proceeded on leave "for the time being" but disclosed no reasons for doing so.
