Congress leaders, led by former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, protested in Panchkula demanding the regularisation of all personnel recruited through the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN). They accused the BJP government of favouring contract appointments over regular recruitment, undermining reservation policies and reducing government posts from 4 lakh to 2.5 lakh. The Congress called for equal pay, promotion, and retirement benefits for HKRN workers and urged future hires to follow standard recruitment processes.
