The recent discourse surrounding Bimol Akoijam and the Congress party centers on allegations of sexual harassment and the subsequent political response. NDTV’s analysis suggests that the Congress party has displayed a form of 'convenient amnesia' when addressing these specific allegations. The core of the critique is that the party, which often positions itself as a defender of women's rights and institutional integrity, has failed to apply its stated principles consistently in this instance.

According to the report, the party’s silence or lack of decisive action regarding Akoijam stands in contrast to its vocal criticism of political opponents in similar scenarios. The article posits that this inconsistency undermines the party’s moral authority. While the piece focuses on the political implications of these allegations, it does not detail the specific legal status of the case or provide a rebuttal from the accused or the party leadership. The narrative emphasizes that political expediency appears to be taking precedence over the party's internal standards for conduct and accountability. By highlighting this perceived hypocrisy, the report questions whether the Congress party is willing to hold its own members to the same standards it demands of others in the public sphere.
