Congress Appoints MP Facing Sexual Harassment Allegations to Manipur Poll Committees
The Congress party appointed Manipur MP and JNU professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam to key committees for the upcoming Manipur Assembly elections, despite pending sexual harassment allegations from 11 female students. The BJP criticized the Congress for this decision, labeling it 'anti-women' and questioning the party's commitment to women's safety. Congress has not publicly responded to these accusations. The case against Akoijam remains under investigation, with some legal relief granted but no acquittal.
