Gaurav Gogoi Alleges Online Harassment by BJP IT Cell, Highlights Protest Safety
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi accused the BJP IT cell and its supporters of fostering a hostile online environment for women, citing rape threats, abusive comments, and doxxing. He contrasted this with the reportedly safe atmosphere for women at physical protests like Jantar Mantar, where young men showed support and protection. Gogoi called for identifying and publicly naming those responsible for online harassment. These remarks followed backlash against a Noida protester whose identity was revealed online.
