The issue of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge going to Haldwani, Uttarakhand for 'purification' after a rally came to light. Congress is protesting across the country regarding this. Meanwhile, another Yagya has been performed in Uttarakhand itself. On Tuesday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers performed a 'Buddhi Shuddhi Yagya' by placing pictures of Rahul Gandhi in the Panchayati temple of Dehradun. The people who performed this yagya said that Rahul Gandhi is working to divide the society, hence such a yagya is necessary for the purification of his intellect.

On the other hand, FIR has been registered against Rahul Gandhi only. Please note that this FIR has been lodged under the SC/ST Act. The complainant says that Rahul Gandhi's statements have hurt the sentiments of the scheduled class.
