Congress MPs to Petition President Over Haldwani 'Purification' Row

Congress SC/ST MPs are set to petition the President of India following a controversial 'Shuddhi Yagya' (purification ritual) performed in Haldwani after Mallikarjun Kharge's recent speech.

The ritual, organized by a newly formed group called 'Ram Sena', has triggered nationwide protests, with the MVA and Punjab Congress demanding an FIR against the organizers.

The Uttarakhand High Court has dismissed a plea seeking an impartial probe into the event, leading the opposition to escalate the matter to the national level as a constitutional issue.
