💬 Discussions SMASH THE patriarchy
“Smash the patriarchy.” “Be loud, be proud.” Rahul Gandhi, Pune, 22 Aug 2026.
11 women students at JNU were loud. They went to the university’s Internal Committee about their professor, Congress MP Bimol Akoijam.
The committee says their allegations “stand established”: questions about their boyfriends in vivas, “quickie” explained with gestures, pinching “despite indications of hesitation”, a viva at his residence till 11:40 PM.
9 Oct: JNU dismissed him. 11 Oct: Delhi Police filed an FIR.
Rahul Gandhi on his own MP: not one word.
And this isn’t the first time a woman in Congress spoke up and paid for it.
If you believed him, you weren’t wrong to want this. You deserve someone who means it.
Smash the patriarchy: a promise, or a poster?
