Congress workers and legislators in Haryana have protested the First Information Report filed against Rahul Gandhi, viewing it as a political move targeting the opposition party. The demonstration, organised at the Congress office in Chandigarh, saw participation from party legislators and senior functionaries who questioned the timing and motivation behind the legal action.
Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda spearheaded the agitation, leading calls for the withdrawal of the FIR. Party leaders characterised the move as harassment of opposition figures and an attack on democratic freedoms. The protest reflects growing tensions between the Congress and state authorities over the investigation.
The FIR, details of which remain unclear from available information, has become a flashpoint in Haryana's political landscape. Congress representatives used the occasion to demand accountability and fair treatment under law, asserting that such measures constitute misuse of government machinery against political opponents. The party has signalled it will intensify its campaign against what it describes as targeted legal action.
