Will Manipur Congress MP Akoijam skip the Winter Session of Parliament amid harassment probe?

Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam appeared before Delhi Police on Thursday regarding a sexual harassment case. His appearance at the Vasant Kunj North station follows a notice stemming from an October 11 FIR, which was filed based on a complaint by Jawaharlal Nehru University's (JNU) chief security officer. These serious allegations recently led to Akoijam’s dismissal as a JNU professor.

As legal scrutiny intensifies, political fallout seems imminent. Sources speculate the Congress leadership has privately instructed the embattled Manipur lawmaker to skip Parliament's upcoming winter session. If true, this strategic sidelining indicates the party is moving quickly to distance itself from the growing controversy, leaving Akoijam politically isolated as the police investigation against him unfolds.
