Labour MP Gaurav Sharma: 'I stand by my claims of ongoing bullying'

But Sharma hit back this evening with the lengthy 2600-word statement posted on his Facebook page, in which the Hamilton West MP provided a timeline of his interactions with Parliamentary Services and the Labour Party Whips.

He claimed he had been gaslit, shouted at, degraded in front of caucus members and told that he was a terrible MP.

"I stand by my claims that I have been subjected to ongoing bullying by the Parliamentary Service and the Labour Whips and none of my concerns have been investigated.

"Neither has there been an investigation into any claims against me as per the last written contact from the Deputy CEO of Parliamentary Service."

A Labour spokesperson reiterated that the party disputed Sharma's allegations.

"As previously stated there have been ongoing issues between Gaurav and some of his staff that his Facebook post provides further confirmation of.

"We believe we've handled this matter appropriately and in accordance with the normal processes when staffing issues are raised."
