The Story in Brief
Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari announced a Jail Bharo movement after a party meeting in Bhopal on Tuesday. He claimed the BJP government has registered 62 lakh cases against Congress workers across the state. The party also plans to petition the High Court over the rejection of Rajya Sabha candidate Meenakshi Natarajan’s nomination form. Leader of opposition Umang Singhar demanded student union elections as directed by the High Court. The PAC meeting was held after the Datia by-election and discussed issues including unemployment and crime against women.
The Indian Opinion
The Congress claim of 62 lakh cases is staggering but lacks context. Without details on how many are frivolous FIRs or politically motivated, the figure risks being dismissed as rhetoric. The BJP will likely point to pending cases against Congress leaders themselves. A concrete test: ask how many of these 62 lakh cases have resulted in conviction. That number, not the total, will reveal genuine vendetta versus routine policing.
