Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress president, has written to Home Minister Amit Shah expressing concerns over the security of Rahul Gandhi during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam. The Assam Police filed a case against Gandhi and other Congress leaders, accusing them of instigating violence against Guwahati police.
Kharge highlighted instances where the Assam Police allegedly failed to provide adequate security to Gandhi, who has Z+ security. Incidents in Sibsagar, Lakhimpur, Sonitpur, and Nagaon were listed, including attacks on the Yatra convoy and Congress workers. Kharge urged Shah to intervene and ensure the safety of Rahul Gandhi and the Yatra participants. The Congress has been protesting the police’s refusal to allow the Yatra entry into Assam.
