BJP targets Congress over sexual harassment allegations against JNU MP

The BJP Mahila Morcha held a demonstration at Congress headquarters on Tuesday, launching a sharp attack on the opposition party over handling of sexual harassment allegations against a Congress MP associated with Jawaharlal Nehru University. Party workers carried placards and raised slogans, demanding accountability and transparency in the matter. The protest highlighted what organisers described as a contradiction between the Congress party's public messaging on gender equality and its response to the internal harassment case. BJP representatives questioned whether calls to "smash patriarchy" held genuine meaning if the party failed to act decisively against accused members within its own ranks. The demonstration underscores the intensifying political debate around women's safety and institutional accountability in Indian politics. Congress leaders have not immediately responded to the allegations of shielding or protecting the accused party member. The incident adds to ongoing discussions about how political organisations handle sexual misconduct complaints and disciplinary measures against their members.
