- On Monday, the BJP Mahila Morcha launched a protest march in Delhi against the Congress, accusing leadership of providing "political protection" to Inner Manipur MP Prof Angomcha Bimol Akoijam following his dismissal from Jawaharlal Nehru University over sexual harassment allegations.
- The university's Internal Complaints Committee substantiated allegations linked to a "sex for marks" demand involving 11 female students, leading to the MP's October 9 dismissal.

- Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra faced criticism from protesters who argued their "Ladki Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon" slogan and rhetoric about "smashing the patriarchy" are "anti-women and hypocritical" given their failure to act against the accused MP.
- Citing previous cases involving Congress leaders such as Ankita Dutta and Mewaram Jain, the BJP alleged the party's silence is part of a longstanding pattern of protecting alleged offenders.
