Rahul Gandhi demands FIR over purification ritual at Kharge rally

Gandhi argued that the ritual constitutes a direct violation of the SC/ST Act, challenging the silence of local authorities. He specifically targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning how the state leadership of the BJP could justify the act while the Prime Minister claims to represent all castes across India. According to Gandhi, the responsibility lies with both the state and central administrations to ensure justice for Kharge.

Beyond the incident in Uttarakhand, the Congress leader dismissed questions regarding the recent organizational restructuring within the BJP. He maintained that his party remains focused on an ideological struggle to protect the Constitution rather than the internal mechanics of their political opponents. For Gandhi, changes in the ruling party’s hierarchy are inconsequential to the broader political battle.
