Meitei groups, former students criticise ‘media trial’ of Congress MP Bimol Akoijam
Supporters said the professor’s dismissal was rushed, procedurally flawed, and politically charged
Certain civil society organisations representing the Meitei community and Manipuri students in Delhi have issued a joint statement urging an end to the "political theatrics and media trials" that have marred the handling of sexual harassment allegations against Congress MP Bimol Akoijam. Akoijam, a former professor at JNU and an Inner Manipur Congress MP, faces allegations of sexual harassment after an inquiry by JNU's Internal Committee.
Critics argue that the allegations are politically motivated and that the proceedings have been rushed, procedurally flawed, and biased.
