Alka Lamba Says Congress Stands With Every Daughter Seeking Justice

The Congress stand with all the daughters fighting for justice and will extend every possible support to them, All India Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba said on Friday, September 4, 2026. Addressing a press conference, Lamba raised the alleged assault of student activist Nishu Azad father and referred to other cases involving young women. She said the Congress and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, stood with Azad and other women who have been involved in protests and have sought justice. Support for Women Activists Lamba said the party would continue to support women who, according to Congress, have faced difficulties while raising their voices on issues of public concern. She specifically named student activist Nishu Azad, journalists Shaheen Khan and Nafisa Khan, and student activist Akriti Chaudhary. The women had participated in a protest at Jantar Mantar. The Congress leader remarks were framed as an expression of political and organisational support for women seeking justice. Political Solidarity The statement comes as political parties continue to use public platforms to raise issues involving women, protesters and activists. By highlighting the case, the Congress sought to underline its position that those seeking justice should receive support and that allegations involving attacks or harassment should be properly addressed. However, allegations of assault or other wrongdoing require investigation and due legal process before responsibility can be conclusively established. Focus on Justice Lamba comments placed the issue of justice and support for women at the centre of her press conference. She said the Congress would provide all possible assistance to women who approach the party while seeking justice. The remarks also reflect the wider political debate surrounding protests, student activism and the treatment of women who participate in public demonstrations. As the cases mentioned by Lamba develop, the focus will remain on the evidence, official investigations and legal proceedings that determine the facts behind the allegation.
