Police Stop BJP Protests Against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's Remarks
BJP leaders and workers in Rajasthan and Bengaluru protested against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late father. Police stopped the marches using barricades and mild force, including baton charges in Rajasthan and detentions in Bengaluru. BJP leaders demanded a public apology from Kharge, with some warning he should not enter Rajasthan without one. The protests involved party youth and women's wings, and tensions arose when protesters tried to advance beyond designated areas.
