The Story in Brief
Uttarakhand Congress chief Ganesh Godiyal alleged that the Shri Ram Sena, a right-wing group, performed a 'shuddhikaran' (purification) ritual at the venue of a recent Congress rally addressed by party president Mallikarjun Kharge. Godiyal claimed the group is associated with the ruling BJP.
The BJP has vehemently denied any connection to the Shri Ram Sena. The Congress has condemned the act. The incident has caused a political controversy in Uttarakhand, with both parties trading allegations and denials.
The Indian Opinion
The row over 'shuddhikaran' at a Congress rally risks becoming a symbol versus substance battle. One side sees it as proof of BJP's communal politics; the other as Congress's victimhood. Neither has offered proof of direct party links. The test will be whether any independent inquiry confirms the Congress allegation or the BJP denial. Until then, it remains a he-said-she-said.
