The Story in Brief
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has said the 'purification' of a stage after his public meeting humiliated him and made him feel the 'sting of untouchability'. Raising the issue with sadness, Kharge said he had addressed the event without mentioning any community or religion. The Deccan Herald reports his remarks.
The incident has stirred political reactions, with Kharge's party backing his claim of caste-based discrimination. No details of where or when the rally took place have been confirmed.
The Indian Opinion
The claim of stage purification after a Dalit leader speaks is not new in Indian politics, but each instance demands proof, not just assertion. Kharge's emotional testimony carries weight given his background, yet the exact venue and organisers remain unnamed. Did the organisers themselves confirm the ritual, or is this inference? The test will be whether the Congress produces specific names and dates to back the charge.
