Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has expressed deep disappointment over the response of party leaders to the recent ‘purification’ ritual controversy, stating that he felt hurt by the silence of many Congress Working Committee members.

Kharge’s Disappointment

Speaking on the issue, Kharge said he was pained that not many CWC members came forward to condemn the ritual. His remarks highlight internal concerns within the party over the handling of the sensitive matter.

Congress Targets BJP

The Congress has accused the BJP of being ‘anti-Dalit’ for not halting protests to allow the adoption of a resolution. The party alleged that the BJP’s actions prevented a proper discussion on the issue.

Political Fallout

The controversy has disrupted proceedings for a second day, with the Opposition blocking the cleansing resolution. The row continues to fuel political tensions, drawing sharp reactions from various quarters.

The developments underscore the challenges facing the Congress leadership as it navigates internal dissent and external political pressure over the incident.
