Congress to March to Uttarakhand CM’s Residence on Sept 7 Over ‘Purification’ of Kharge Rally Stage…
The controversy that erupted after Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge’s rally in Haldwani has now escalated into a political movement. Congress has begun preparations to increase pressure on the government on this issue. As a result, the Congress Party is planning to march to the Chief Minister’s residence in the state capital, Dehradun, on September 7th, 2026. Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi are also expected to participate in this major political protest. The primary reason for this controversy is a large Congress Party public meeting held on August 8th, 2026, at the Ramlila Maidan in Haldwani, Uttarakhand, addressed by Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge. Two days after the rally, on August 10, 2026, individuals associated with some Hindu organizations (allegedly Shri Ram Sena) sprinkled Ganga water on the stage and grounds amid chanting of Vedic mantras and performed a “havan” (sacrifice). Photos and videos of this incident went viral on social media. The Congress party has taken this incident to be extremely serious and has directly labeled it an act of “caste discrimination and untouchability.” Mallikarjun Kharge belongs to the Scheduled Caste (Dalit) community. The Congress alleges that Kharge’s presence alone was the reason for the “purification” of the grounds, reflecting a feudal and casteist mindset. Mallikarjun Kharge himself raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha, calling it an act of untouchability and demanding the arrest of the perpetrators. Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, also strongly criticized the incident, calling it against the Constitution and human values. Meanwhile, the Congress party alleges that the police have not yet filed an FIR against those responsible for the purification incident. Furthermore, the Congress party is demanding the cancellation of the cases filed against Rahul Gandhi. The Congress party will now march to the Chief Minister’s residence on September 7th to protest the purification incident. State Congress leaders have begun preparations to make the march a success. According to party sources, Rahul Gandhi and other national leaders may also participate in the rally. However, the Congress party has not yet formally announced this.State Congress President Ganesh Godiyal stated that party workers from across the state will march to the Chief Minister’s residence on September 7th. The Congress party will continue to fight the purification issue to the last minute. He added that no schedule for Rahul Gandhi’s arrival at the rally has been finalized.
CJP Workers Protest Outside Delhi’s Parliament Street Police Station Demanding Justice in Sanjay Kumar Assault Case…
Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) workers arrived in large numbers to protest at the Parliament Street police station in Delhi today, Friday (September 4, 2026). Workers and senior leaders of the youth organization, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), have been protesting and raising slogans against the Delhi Police outside the Parliament Street police station since morning. CJP leader Saurav Das, along with other members, has reached the Parliament Street police station, demanding justice for Sanjay and Nishu. Meanwhile, Nishu, Chandrashekhar Azad, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka have reached the DCP’s office. This protest is related to the attack on Sanjay Kumar, the father of Nishu Azad, a young woman who participated in the protest at Jantar Mantar. Sanjay Kumar was allegedly attacked by a young man named Swatantra Bhardwaj. The CJP alleges that the Delhi Police has not taken any action against him. Several other leaders, including the CJP, are protesting outside the Parliament Street police station in Delhi. In fact, the issue reignited when the accused, Swatantra Bhardwaj, openly confessed to the attack on the father of a CJP worker in a podcast. He stated that he did not go to jail even after the attack because he had connections with political figures. Nishu also posted a video on the matter, appealing to Rahul Gandhi for help. Following this, Rahul Gandhi assured Nishu of his support. In his post, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “Nishu, there’s no need to panic. I am with you. It’s clear that you were targeted because you speak out for the rights of your community and students. Amit Shah’s Delhi Police, on the one hand, commit inhumane brutality against students. On the other hand, the criminal who beheaded a Dalit girl’s father roams freely. PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, why are you and your party members protecting such a criminal? Will action still be taken, or will you continue to protect someone?” Nishu, your fight is not alone. We will not stop until justice is served. Jai Bhim. Jai Constitution.” Delhi Police, meanwhile, issued a statement on the matter, dismissing the social media claims as rumors. Police say that according to doctors at RML Hospital, Sanjay Kumar suffered minor injuries caused by a bracelet. Reports of a crack in his head are baseless. According to the police, the accused (Suraj Kumar and Swatantra Bhardwaj) have been questioned, and a charge sheet will soon be filed in court in this case. The police also completely rejected allegations of political interference.
TMC Camac Street Office Vandalized in Early Morning Attack; Abhishek Banerjee Blames BJP, Party Calls it Staged Drama..
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) office on Camac Street in Kolkata was attacked and vandalized by armed men at around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The incident has heated up the political atmosphere in West Bengal. TMC MP and National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee has made serious allegations that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers were behind the attack. Banerjee also shared CCTV footage on his social media account (X), showing masked men vandalizing the office and taking away electronic items. He released the CCTV footage and stated that the attackers arrived around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday. He further claimed that the armed attackers assaulted employees, snatched phones, broke furniture, scattered items throughout the office, and damaged electronic equipment. TMC leaders alleged that TMC employees and lawyers informed the police via phone and email at the time of the incident and for approximately two hours, but no action was taken for approximately two hours. Abhishek Banerjee wrote on his social media account (X) that we demand the immediate arrest of everyone involved in this attack. We also demand an investigation into who planned, organized, and directed this violence, and why the police failed to take action despite repeated information. No political party or group of armed goons can be above the law. If people can enter a political party office with weapons at 4:30 in the morning, attack people, and vandalize property, even when the police are not present, what is the rule of law left in West Bengal? Enough is enough. Arrest the culprits. Fix accountability. Take action now. He further wrote that this is what the BJP did to my party office early this morning. Will the Governor of West Bengal take action? Will the Union Home Minister take action? Will the PMO take action? Or will they simply continue to ignore it? It’s time for the judiciary, especially the Calcutta High Court, to take serious cognizance of this situation and take steps to maintain the rule of law in West Bengal. And a direct question to Suvendu Adhikari: Why are you so afraid of the Trinamool Congress and me that you have to resort to such intimidation tactics? BJP responds strongly to allegations The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strongly retorted to the allegations of vandalism at the Trinamool Congress (TMC) office, calling it a “staged drama” by the TMC. BJP MLA Sajal Ghosh said that the entire incident was staged by the TMC itself. He added that the BJP had no involvement in the incident. The TMC currently has no political issues left, so they are only doing this to remain in the limelight. BJP leaders have also questioned the timing of the incident. Sajal Ghosh asked, “What were TMC workers doing in that office so early in the morning (at 4:30 am)?” Kolkata Police have launched an investigation into the matter and detained six people from the scene. CCTV footage is also being examined.

ABVP-NSUI Clash Erupts at COEP Pune Ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ Event…
An event titled ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ (Students’ Voice), featuring Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was scheduled for today Saturday, August 22 at the College of Engineering, Pune (COEP) in Shivajinagar. However, a commotion broke out at the venue before the event could begin. Reports indicate that a clash erupted between the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) at the college premises prior to the event, heating up the political atmosphere. Following the clash, both groups accused each other of assault. The dispute reportedly stemmed from the filming of a female student at COEP. The ABVP alleged that NSUI members pressured the student, while the NSUI claimed that ABVP members held her captive; this led to a confrontation between the two factions. Tension prevailed on the COEP campus for some time due to the incident. Upon being informed of the dispute, the police arrived at the scene, brought the situation under control, and initiated an investigation. Rahul Gandhi is visiting Pune today for the ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ event. Subsequently, several leaders—including Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, Vijay Wadettiwar arrived at the site and staged a sit-in protest, while the BJP Yuva Morcha blocked the road in protest. According to the news agency PTI, a heavy police force was deployed on the campus following the dispute. Reports also suggest that some Congress workers sustained injuries. A case has been registered at the Shivajinagar police station against 50 to 60 individuals, including key office-bearers of the Youth Congress. State Congress President Harshvardhan Sapkal accused the ABVP of holding students captive in the hostel because they had posted status updates supporting Rahul Gandhi on social media. Sapkal alleged that the ABVP engaged in hooliganism, which included assaulting students and confining them to their rooms in the hostel, describing the actions as extremely serious and shameful. They questioned who gave ABVP goons the right to intimidate students and violate their freedom simply because they had posted a status featuring Rahul Gandhi. They stated that this incident once again exposes the culture of the BJP’s student politics, questioned whether these ABVP goons enjoy state protection, and declared that the Congress party would never bow to such hooliganism that attacks students’ freedom of expression and the liberty of young women.
CM Yogi Attacks Congress, Says 1947 Partition Was Proof of Cowardice
CM Yogi Adityanath said that if India had leadership like Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 1947, the country would never have been partitioned and the mass killings of millions of people could have been avoided. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has launched a sharp attack on the Congress over the Partition of India in 1947, accusing the party’s leadership of putting political interests ahead of the country.

Yogi Praises PM Modi’s Leadership The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also compared the situation in 1947 with the present political leadership. He said that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been leading the country at that time, “no one could have harmed India.” Yogi was speaking during his political campaign in Maharashtra, where he also criticised Congress for what he described as following a “divide and rule” approach similar to the British. Congress Accused of Putting Power First Yogi alleged that Congress repeatedly prioritised political gains over national interests. He said the Partition resulted in widespread violence and the loss of many lives. He also accused the party of continuing to follow divisive politics and contrasted it with what he described as the BJP-led government’s focus on national unity. Remarks Come Amid Political Debate Over Partition Yogi’s comments come amid renewed political discussions around the legacy of the 1947 Partition. His remarks have added to the ongoing debate between the BJP and Congress over the political decisions and leadership that shaped India’s independence and Partition.
