Protesters in Amritsar demand FIR over 'shuddhikaran' controversy after Kharge rally

Following a public rally led by Congress senior leader Ghulam Nabi Kharge in Amritsar, a contingent of activists assembled outside the venue to voice opposition to the ongoing 'shuddhikaran' controversy. The demonstrators carried placards and shouted slogans, insisting that the matter be formally registered as a First Information Report (FIR) with the police. They argue that the alleged purification effort has sparked communal tension and requires legal scrutiny. Local authorities deployed police personnel to manage the crowd, but no arrests were reported as of the statement released after the protest. The demonstration reflects heightened sensitivities around religious and cultural issues in the region and underscores demands for accountability from law‑enforcement agencies.
