Congress leaders in Haryana announced a new drive aimed at safeguarding citizens' voting rights, as articulated by party spokesperson Sanjay Dutt.
The Haryana unit of the Indian National Congress said it will launch a focused campaign to protect the voting rights of residents across the state. Party spokesperson Sanjay Dutt outlined the initiative, emphasizing that free and fair elections are the cornerstone of democracy and must be defended against intimidation, misinformation and procedural hurdles.
According to the announcement, the campaign will involve door‑to‑door outreach, legal assistance for voters facing disenfranchisement, and coordination with civil‑society groups to monitor polling stations. Congress officials said they will also train volunteers to help elderly and marginalized voters navigate the registration process.
The move comes ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections, where the party aims to consolidate its support base by highlighting issues of electoral integrity. No specific timeline was provided, but the party indicated that activities will begin within weeks.
Stakeholders, including the Election Commission of India, have been informed of the plan, and the Congress leadership expressed confidence that the effort will reinforce public trust in the electoral system.
