Big news is coming from New Delhi, where Congress has gone to the Supreme Court against it’s own Himachal Pradesh division after it made displaying the owner’s name in front of the shop mandatory, demanding that their caste should also be displayed along with their names.
During the Kanwar Yatra, the Uttar Pradesh government also gave the same order. However, at that time, Congress vehemently opposed the move, and the Supreme Court later put a stay on it. Now, with the Congress government of Himachal Pradesh passing a similar order, Congress has approached the Supreme Court again, leading their supporters to believe that they would ask the court to stay the order. However, it was later revealed that they are actually seeking to include caste names alongside the owner’s names.
Speaking to The Fauxy, the Shadow President of Congress, Rahul Gandhi, said, “This order will make it easy for people to discriminate based on religion, which we believe will help the BJP. We want discrimination based on castes because we believe it will help us.”
This unexpected decision by Himachal Pradesh’s Congress government has led to a rise in “mutism” across India, as Congress supporters cannot decide whether to speak for or against it and have gone completely silent.
