Priyanka Gandhi urges PM Modi to order FIR against those who "purified" Kharge's Haldwani rally venue.

NEW DELHI: Keeping up the pressure over the issue, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order an FIR against the persons who had committed the crime of "purification" of the rally venue in Haldwani where Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge had recently addressed a public meeting, reports Devbrat Chaudhary. The appeal to the PM came a day after Rahul Gandhi addressed a press conference alleging the "purification" was the handiwork of BJP-RSS elements, and that a case should be lodged under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act. Priyanka posted on X, "Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge addressed a rally in Haldwani, after which people from BJP-RSS 'purified' his stage. This 'purification' is not only a symbol of an extremely reprehensible and shameful mindset but also a grave violation of our Constitution and the SC/ST Act, and is a crime."

Priyanka said no action has been taken even 20 days after the "crime" and sought from the Prime Minister and Modi govt reasons for their "indifference". "If PM Modi truly respects the Constitution of our country, then he should ensure that an FIR is filed against those who committed this crime and that action is taken," she said.

Proposed H-4 EAD rollback raises concern among Indian families, but no changes in effect yet

The Trump administration has added a proposal to DHS's regulatory agenda to remove H-4 dependent spouses from employment authorization eligibility, reversing a 2015 rule. However, the proposal is classified as a 'Long-Term Action' with no draft text or timeline, meaning any change would take months and require public comment, legal review, and could face challenges. Indian families, many of whom rely on H-4 EADs due to extreme green-card backlogs, are concerned but currently unaffected.
