00:00All right, meanwhile, while the protests against the CEC take over the national capital,
00:04earlier in the day, the BJP also protested.
00:06This is after a massive slugfest was underway over the Congress MP, Bimol Achoyjam.
00:12After, he was sacked as JNU professor after allegations of sexual harassment.
00:16The BJP staged a protest against the Congress MP, burnt effigies of him along with Rahul Gandhi
00:21and also demanded action against Bimol.
00:24The Congress hit back, calling the BJP protest a diversionary tactic to deflect attention
00:30from the opposition protest against the CEC, Gyanesh Kumar.
00:33Here's how it unfolded.
01:00Showdown over Congress MP, Bimol Achoyjam.
01:09The parliamentarian was recently sacked as JNU professor over allegations of sexual harassment.
01:22The BJP came down heavily on Rahul Gandhi over the charges against Okoyjam
01:27and held a protest outside the Grand Old Party's headquarters on Monday.
01:36Women MPs of BJP led the charge.
01:40The protestors burnt effigies of Rahul Gandhi and Okoyjam.
01:45Many workers and MPs of BJP are hitting this effigy.
01:50Protest versus protest.
01:51That's what is now unfolding on the streets of Delhi.
01:54Right now, I am present at a DGU mark right in front of Congress headquarters, Indra Bhavan,
01:59where women workers and MPs have reached here a large number.
02:03You can also see as to how they are holding different placards, demanding that Rahul Gandhi must apologize.
02:10He should ensure that Bimol Achoyjam, who is the MP of Congress party from Manipur,
02:16he should face the actions.
02:18He should be.
02:44The parties Mahila Morcha protested in Bengaluru over the same.
02:52BGP Mahila Morcha is protesting here in Bengaluru, trying to march towards the Congress office
02:58and they want to get out of the Congress office, demanding justice.
03:01As you can see, they have got a poster saying, Swapaksha da sansa da laingi ka daurjanya.
03:05This is regarding the JNU professor, who is also the Congress MP, who has been accused
03:11of having a case that has been suspended recently.
03:18The Congress called the protest a diversionary tactic to deflect attention from the opposition
03:24protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar.
03:28This is their classic diversionary tactics.
03:31Whatever action has to be taken, there has been taken.
03:34What action are you taking?
03:36Answer that.
03:37Why is it that they don't answer that?
03:39They want to divert you.
03:41Some workers somewhere is more important than Gyanesh Kumar case.
03:44Meanwhile, the Delhi police filed an FIR against Okoyejam.
03:49The MP is accused of making sexual advances towards students, demanding sexual favors, showing
03:56porn against students' will, and making sexually offensive remarks.
04:02The FIR against Okoyejam has come as an embarrassment for the Congress when its own leader, Rahul Gandhi, has
04:10been running a campaign to smash the patriarchy.
04:14The Congress, which has not acted against its MP, is now being accused of double standards.
