Kharge Writes to Nadda for Urgent Action over Uttarakhand Ritual After His Rally
Kharge said 24 days passed without an FIR and urged action over the alleged ritual after his Haldwani rally, calling it an insult to Dalit sentiments.
- On Thursday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to Leader of the House JP Nadda seeking immediate action regarding the alleged "purification" ritual carried out at Ram Leela Maidan in Haldwani following his public meeting.
- The incident followed Kharge's August 8 public meeting, which the Congress claims insulted the Dalit community; however, organisers and the BJP have denied the ritual was linked to his presence at the venue.
- Kharge reminded Nadda of his earlier assurance in the Rajya Sabha, noting that 24 days have passed since the event without a First Information Report being registered against those allegedly responsible.
- Rahul Gandhi previously described the ritual as "another name for untouchability," and police registered an FIR against Gandhi on August 30 under the Prevention of Atrocities Act for his remarks.
- Ahead of Uttarakhand's Assembly elections scheduled for early next year, the Congress attempts to return to power while the BJP seeks a third consecutive term in the state.
