Mysuru: Congress protests ‘purification’ ritual after Kharge rally

The Congress party in Mysuru staged a protest on Saturday against a 'purification' ritual, or shuddhikaran havan, held in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, two days after AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge addressed a rally there. The protest, led by district in-charge Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah and MLC K. Shivakumar, denounced the incident as an insult to Kharge and a reflection of the BJP, RSS, and Sangh Parivar's anti-Dalit mindset.

They demanded that the Centre take the incident seriously, arrest those responsible, and initiate stringent action.
