  "summary": "The Kalyan City District Congress Committee staged a protest against the BJP and RSS in Kalyan, Maharashtra, over an alleged incident of caste discrimination following a public meeting by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge in Haldwani, Uttarakhand. Workers performed a milk abhishek on Kharge’s portrait and raised concerns about social equality, condemning what they described as an \"incident of caste discrimination\" and the \"Manuwadi\" ideology of the BJP and RSS. The protesters also reaffirmed their commitment to constitutional values and social fraternity. Following the protest, Congress workers took out a march to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Udyan, where they paid floral tributes to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Party officials submitted a memorandum at the Kalyan Tehsil office, demanding an impartial inquiry into the alleged incident in Haldwani and strict legal action against those responsible under relevant provisions of law.",
