Congress MP Bimol Akoijam calls JNU dismissal a political witch‑hunt

Congress MP Bimol Akoijam publicly alleged that his recent dismissal from Jawaharlal Nehru University is part of a targeted political vendetta. He described the action as a "witch hunt" aimed at silencing his voice. The MP said the move reflects an attempt by opponents to undermine his political work.
Akoijam did not provide details of the specific reasons cited by the university for his removal, but emphasized that the decision is driven by political motives rather than academic considerations. He urged his party and supporters to confront what he termed an orchestrated campaign against him.
The university has not issued a comment on the allegations, and no official response from the administration has been reported as of now.
