Smriti Irani Attacks Rahul Gandhi Over Silence on JNU Professor Dismissal

Union Minister Smriti Irani has attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of remaining silent after Jawaharlal Nehru University terminated Professor Angomcha Bimol Akoijam following a sexual harassment inquiry.

Irani's criticism comes in the wake of the university's decision to dismiss the professor based on findings of the harassment probe. The Minister questioned Gandhi's absence of public comment on the matter.

The incident highlights the ongoing political tensions between the government and the opposition over university governance and accountability issues.
