Haryana Congress leaders protest outside party office over FIR against Rahul Gandhi

Haryana Congress legislators and party leaders staged a protest in Chandigarh on [day] against the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against senior party leader Rahul Gandhi. The demonstration, held outside the Haryana Congress office, was led by former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

The protest comes in the wake of the FIR filed in connection with the 'Shuddhikaran' row. Party leaders criticised the move to register the case, calling it unjustified.

Hooda, along with other MLAs and office-bearers, gathered at the party headquarters to voice their opposition. The leaders asserted that the FIR was a targeted action against the Congress leader.

The 'Shuddhikaran' matter has emerged as a fresh flashpoint in the state's political landscape, with the Congress unit rallying behind Rahul Gandhi. The protest marks the party's formal response to the legal action taken in the case.

Further details on the nature of the FIR and the party's next course of action are awaited.
