VHP Accuses Opposition of Targeting Hindu Festivals with November 1 Rally
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) accused the Congress-led INDIA bloc of deliberately scheduling a November 1 rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan to disrupt Hindu festivals and harm the economy during the busy Diwali season. VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal highlighted the clash with Ahoi Ashtami and traders' appeals to postpone the rally, which Congress rejected. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, linked the protests to demands for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged election irregularities.
