# Mayawati seeks strict action over alleged Haldwani stage purification 2026-08-15T14:42:13+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati has condemned the alleged purification of a stage in Uttarakhand’s Haldwani after Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s programme. In a post on X, she called the incident “highly condemnable and concerning” and demanded that the government act under strict laws against those responsible. Mayawati described them as “casteist and feudal elements” and said they should be sent to jail. She also urged the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief to take cognizance of the matter, referring to remarks about depriving economically stronger Dalits of reservation. Mayawati separately condemned an attack on Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal in Nanded. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: BSP, Congress, Haldwani, Mallikarjun Kharge, Mayawati Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mayawati-seeks-strict-action-over-alleged-haldwani-stage-purification/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
