Congress Appoints MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations, BJP Criticizes
The Congress party appointed Manipur MP and former JNU professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam to its Pradesh Election and Campaign Committees ahead of the Manipur Assembly elections. Akoijam faces sexual harassment allegations involving 11 female students, which remain pending despite some court relief. The BJP criticized Congress for this appointment, labeling the party as "anti-women" and questioning its commitment to women's safety. Congress has not publicly responded to these criticisms, and the controversy has sparked debate on political accountability and gender issues in the state.
