When such an incident happened against Congress President Shri @kharge, the Prime Minister should have come forward and condemned it.
Uttarakhand is governed by the BJP. So, what happened to the much-talked-about ‘double-engine government’?
Instead of that, they are trying to drag LoP Shri @RahulGandhi into this. Is it a crime for any citizen to raise questions and place facts before the public?
The BJP's intent is to spread hatred and division among different communities.
: Congress General Secretary and Incharge of Uttarakhand @Kumari_Selja ji
One quarter of 7.8% growth is not an economic spring.
If India has truly "bloomed," why do rampant unemployment, leaked exam papers, and a crumbling education system define the ground reality?
Why is the republic's prosperity not translating into the prosperity of its public?
GDP measures national output - not jobs, not wages, not opportunity. If it measured any of those, the future of India's youth would not look so bleak.
Modi can manage his headlines. For India's youth, the question remains the same as ever:
Where are the jobs?
#WATCH | Delhi: On FIR filed against Rahul Gandhi in connection with purification controversy, Congress leader Kumari Selja says, "Kharge ji finds it strange—wondering what exactly Rahul ji has done. He hadn't really done anything, yet action was taken against him. The point is that today, we are attempting to lodge FIRs at every police station across Uttarakhand. If they refuse to register them, we will take further steps; we are already pursuing that course of action. A high-level delegation of ours met the Governor and submitted a memorandum demanding an FIR, but nothing came of it. Now, we are planning a major agitation on the 7th; this series of actions is ongoing. It is not just about Kharge ji; now that they have dragged Rahul ji into it as well, it is not about that either. The point is that elections are approaching—in Uttarakhand, UP, and elsewhere—and they are resorting to the same old, hackneyed rhetoric..."
#BREAKING Centre to file application in the #SupremeCourt seeking quashing of FIRs over student protests, invoking Article 142 of the Constitution.
Solicitor General of India seeks urgent listing of the matter tomorrow. CJI agrees to list tomorrow
The black ink on BJP’s office in Hyderabad can be washed away. The stain of defending ‘Shuddhikaran’ cannot.
India will run on Babasaheb’s Constitution, not Manusmriti.
Youth Congress takes the fight against BJP-RSS’s caste politics to their doorstep. 🔥
The FIR against Shri Rahul Gandhi ji in Uttarakhand is deeply disturbing.
The issue he raised was serious: a so-called ‘purification’ ritual was performed at Haldwani’s Ramlila Ground after Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge ji addressed a rally there, an act that naturally raised grave questions about dignity, equality and caste discrimination.
Instead of addressing these concerns, an FIR has been registered against Rahul ji for speaking out and demanding action.
Keralam strongly condemns such attempts to criminalise dissent. Political disagreement must be answered politically, not through intimidation and misuse of the law.
We stand firmly with Rahul ji and Kharge ji.
@RahulGandhi@Kharge@INCIndia@INCKerala
The FIR on India’s Leader of Opposition Sh. @RahulGandhi has revealed the BJP will not apologise for the untouchability ritual conducted in Haldwani, after Shri Mallikarjun Kharge’s rally.
The party of Prime Minister Modi is willing to defend the perpetrators of untouchability till the end.
But we will not let up until the culprits of the insult to Shri Mallikarjun Kharge are punished.
The FIR on LOP Shri Rahul Gandhi is meant to intimidate and harass, but it will boomerang on PM Modi.
The day after LOP Sh. @RahulGandhi ji’s bold Press Conference demanding that BJP workers be prosecuted for the 'purification’ done after Kharge ji's rally, the Uttarakhand Police has filed an FIR against Rahul ji himself! This is nothing but the pot calling the kettle black!
What is worse, the BJP has actually jumped in to defend this abhorrently casteist behaviour - showing to the entire world that they are the biggest perpetrators of social injustice today.
They are willing to put the entire might of the state to attack those who speak against Dalit atrocities.
What the BJP has done is to attack the values of social justice enshrined in the Constitution, and the Congress will fight against this attack tooth and nail. We will not rest until the true culprits of the insult to Kharge ji are punished, and this frivolous FIR against Rahul ji is thrown in the dustbin.
This evening, Congress workers across the country will be on the streets demanding prosecution of the BJP leaders who insulted Kharge ji and to defend our Constitution against the BJP's assault on its values of social justice.
They did ‘Shuddhikaran’ after Kharge ji. No FIR ❌
Rahul Gandhi questioned that casteist act. FIR ✅
Today in Hyderabad, Youth Congress workers left the BJP a reminder at its own doorstep:
You may wash this black ink away. How will you wash away the stain of your Manusmriti politics? 🔥
देश में BJP-RSS के लोग भेदभाव, नफरत और छुआछूत को बढ़ावा देने का काम कर रहे हैं।
हल्द्वानी में कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष श्री @kharge की रैली के बाद मंच स्थल का 'शुद्धिकरण' करवाना, BJP-RSS की दलित विरोधी मानसिकता का सबूत है।
हद ये है कि इस मामले में दोषियों के खिलाफ FIR करने के बजाए, उत्तराखंड पुलिस BJP के इशारे पर राहुल गांधी जी पर FIR कर रही है।
ये सरासर मनमानी है।
आज उत्तराखंड के CLP नेता श्री @IamYashpalArya ने कांग्रेस साथियों के साथ थाने में तहरीर दी और 'शुद्धिकरण' करने वाले BJP-RSS के लोगों पर मुकदमा दर्ज करने की मांग की।
Hello @DrMohanBhagwat you could grandstand in NYC because @ZohranKMamdani believed it wasn’t his business to cancel private event. How about you teach your saffron goons same lesson when you return so they don’t vandalise films, shows & programs. ..?
