Haryana Congress Demands Caste Census, Submits Memorandum to Governor
The Haryana Congress, led by Bhupinder Singh Hooda and other leaders, submitted a memorandum to the Governor demanding a caste census, citing the absence of a clear caste-counting mechanism in the current census. They criticized the ruling BJP for announcing a caste census in Parliament but not including caste data collection in practice. The Congress emphasized the need for a unique scientific caste coding system to ensure accurate representation. Plans for statewide protests on October 8 were also announced to press the demand.
