Himachal BJP Plans Protest Against Congress Over Alleged False Cases
The Himachal BJP announced a large protest rally in Shimla on August 5, condemning the Congress government for allegedly registering false cases against BJP leaders and elected representatives. BJP leaders, including MLA Randhir Sharma, accused the state government of misusing police and administrative agencies to target opposition members, calling it an attack on democratic values. The BJP plans to raise these issues during the upcoming Monsoon Assembly Session starting August 21 and expand protests statewide to highlight what they describe as vindictive politics by the Congress government.
