Indian Youth Congress Protests Outside RSS HQ Over Alleged Caste Discrimination
Indian Youth Congress National President Uday Bhanu Chib led a protest outside the RSS headquarters in Delhi, burning copies of the Manusmriti and alleging a casteist, anti-Dalit mindset within the BJP-RSS. The protest responded to claims of untouchability against Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge. While the Youth Congress and some Congress leaders condemned the BJP-RSS ideology, organizers of the Havan ceremony in Uttarakhand, including Dalit members, denied casteist intent, stating the ritual addressed cleanliness after a Congress rally. Police detained Chib during the demonstration.
