Congress’s M Kharge says ‘hurt’ by party leaders’ stance on ‘purification’ row
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge expressed his hurt over the lack of support from party leaders regarding a 'purification' ritual linked to the BJP in Uttarakhand. He criticized the Congress Working Committee for not condemning the event, which he felt humiliated him as a Dalit. The party's general secretary claimed they did address the issue, but Kharge remained unconvinced.
