A delegation of BJP women MPs is scheduled to meet President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday to discuss sexual harassment allegations against Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam. The move follows nationwide protests by BJP Mahila Morcha workers demanding action against the Inner Manipur Lok Sabha representative. Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) recently dismissed Akoijam from his professor position after an internal committee reviewed complaints from 11 female students. Delhi Police have registered an FIR at the Vasant Kunj North police station under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The investigation into the allegations remains ongoing.
