Haryana Congress Leaders Detained Ahead of Delhi Protest Amid Political TensionsPreviousNext

Ahead of the October 10 'Vote Bachao-Desh Bachao' protest in Delhi, Haryana Congress leaders and workers faced police actions including house arrests and detentions, which the party condemned as suppression of democratic rights. Congress leaders, including Sanjay Dutt and Bhupinder Singh Hooda, criticized the BJP government for obstructing peaceful protests, while BJP representatives defended electoral reforms and questioned opposition claims. The situation reflects heightened political tensions over alleged vote theft and electoral transparency ahead of upcoming elections.
