New Delhi: A delegation of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) women Members of Parliament met President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday, seeking intervention in the case involving Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam and allegations of sexual harassment by 11 students.
According to a report by Dainik Bhaskar, the BJP delegation visited Rashtrapati Bhavan and urged the President to intervene in the matter. The delegation reportedly sought Akoijam’s suspension from the Lok Sabha and called for measures to ensure the safety of the women who filed complaints.
The controversy follows reports that Akoijam was removed from his professorship at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) after complaints of alleged sexual harassment were made by 11 female students. The allegations have prompted political reactions, with the BJP launching a campaign against the Congress MP.
BJP Mahila Morcha president Roop Kumari Choudhary said the President had assured the delegation that the matter would be examined. However, the supplied report did not provide further details about the nature of the proposed examination or any subsequent action.
The delegation’s demands centre on accountability and the protection of the complainants. The case has also become a point of political contention between the BJP and Congress.
The allegations remain subject to the relevant investigative and legal processes. The claims should not be treated as established facts unless confirmed through the appropriate proceedings.
Further details about the complaints, the university’s formal findings, or any official response from Akoijam were not included in the supplied report.
