'BJP-RSS oppose Dalit progress': Rahul Gandhi at party briefing calls for FIR over Haldwani 'purification'
- On Saturday, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi demanded an FIR over a purification ritual conducted at a Haldwani venue where Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge held a rally earlier this month.
- Members of the Shri Ram Sena performed the purification ritual at the Ramlila ground two days after Kharge addressed the Vijay Shankhnaad rally on August 8.
- Gandhi alleged the act violates the Atrocities Act, calling it a "crime," while Uttarakhand BJP president Mahendra Bhatt defended the ritual, stating "the place was polluted with slogans."
- Demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi order an investigation, Gandhi warned that if authorities fail to act, "there will certainly be a reaction from us."
- The incident reflects the BJP-RSS mindset toward Dalits, Gandhi argued, asserting Kharge "will get justice in Uttarakhand" despite concerns about discriminatory practices.
