Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mahila Morcha staged protest demanding action against Congress MP Bimol Akoijam regarding complaints of sexual harassment involving female students from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). Led by Mahila Morcha Katni District President Sapna Sarawagi, female activists protested at the Kotwali Police Station intersection and burned an effigy of the MP. During the event, the activists registered their protest by raising slogans against the Congress leadership. Mahila Morcha District President Sapna Sarawagi accused the Congress of adopting double standards regarding the issue of women's honor and safety. Senior leader Alka Jain stated that while Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi speaks about respecting women, the party's stance appears different in serious matters concerning women.

 

District Vice President Ankita Tiwari alleged that the Congress, which talks about women's honour, is adopting an indifferent attitude regarding the demand for action against its own MP. Referring to the complaints made by the JNU students, she demanded an impartial investigation and appropriate action in the matter. The protest was attended by Sapna Sarawagi, Alka Jain, Seema Jain Sogani, Ankita Tiwari, Parvati Tamia, Geeta Gupta, Geeta Srivastava, , along with other activists.
