BJP Protests In Bengaluru Over JNU Sacking Congress MP Amid Harassment Charges

The Bharatiya Janata Party Mahila Morcha held protests in Bengaluru against the Congress party, demanding the immediate arrest and parliamentary suspension of Congress Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Angomcha Bimol Akoijam. The protests erupted after Jawaharlal Nehru University terminated the services of the professor following an internal inquiry into sexual harassment complaints filed by students. Police detained several Mahila Morcha protesters who attempted to march towards the Karnataka Congress office, citing municipal restrictions permitting demonstrations only at Freedom Park. Protesters and BJP leaders accused the Congress leadership of maintaining silence on serious allegations concerning women's safety, while allegedly deflecting national attention towards sub judice issues surrounding the Election Commission of India. A First Information Report has been registered against the MP, with allegations citing sexual advances, offensive remarks, and inappropriate misconduct. The MP has denied the accusations, calling the charges baseless, politically motivated, and part of a targeted witch-hunt.
