BJP Seeks Bimol Akoijam’s Suspension Over JNU Sexual Harassment Allegations

Congress MP Bimol Akoijam is facing sexual harassment allegations linked to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), triggering a political showdown between the BJP and Congress. BJP women MPs met President Droupadi Murmu, seeking her intervention to suspend the MP, while BJP leaders protested outside Congress headquarters for a second consecutive day. The BJP also criticised Rahul Gandhi over the Congress leadership’s response to the allegations. Akoijam has rejected the charges. Delhi Police has registered an FIR following an internal JNU inquiry. The allegations include sexually inappropriate remarks and advances, and the matter has sparked a wider debate on women’s safety.
