BJP Women's Wing Stages Protests Over Congress MP Sexual Harassment Case

The BJP Mahila Morcha organized protests in multiple locations nationwide, intensifying pressure on the Congress party over the conduct of one of its parliamentarians. The demonstrations centered on demands for accountability regarding Akoijam's alleged misconduct. Police detained several protesters during the demonstrations, including those who gathered outside Congress party offices. Authorities transported detainees away from protest sites using buses, according to reports from the ground. The timing of the protests underscores growing political tensions around the handling of sexual harassment complaints within India's political establishment. Akoijam was previously dismissed from Jawaharlal Nehru University following sexual harassment allegations against him. The renewed focus on the case reflects the BJP's strategy of highlighting governance issues within the opposition party ahead of elections.
