Mallikarjun Kharge | 'Hurt' Mallikarjun Kharge Slams Party Leaders' Silence On 'Purification' Row

A "hurt" Mallikarjun Kharge made a complaint to senior Congress leaders at the party's working committee meet in the Capital on Wednesday. The Congress president told the party leaders present at the meet that he was "hurt" that many of the CWC members did not openly come out in support of him on the 'purification' issue by condemning it, sources told NDTV. Kharge was referring to the incident in Uttarakhand's Haldwani, where certain Hindutva organisations "purified" the venue following his rally. While Kharge did not name any particular leaders, his body language, according to sources, suggested that he was upset by the lack of support from some senior leaders over the issue.
