BJP Protests Against Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam Over 'Sex For Marks' Charge

Jawaharlal Nehru University has dismissed Congress MP and professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam after an internal inquiry upheld nine sexual harassment allegations involving 11 female students. The dismissal, effective immediately, followed the university committee's recommendation for major punishment. The BJP has intensified its protests outside Congress offices in Delhi, Ahmedabad and Lucknow, with party leaders also being detained. The BJP has questioned Congress's response to the allegations and accused the party of remaining silent. Akoijam has rejected the proceedings as a witch hunt, maintaining that there is no proof against him.
