Meanwhile, adding more to Amit Shah’s troubles, Haryana Congress has announced to take part in the protest on February 15. Speaking to National Herald on the phone, President of Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee, Ashok Tanwar said that Congress will welcome Amit Shah with black flags.

“People of Haryana and this country should know what BJP did with the Jat community. No action has been taken against policemen who killed Jats. No political leader has been held responsible for the rioting and disruption. Instead, innocent people were slapped with serious charges and were put behind bars for two years. Who is responsible for that?” questioned Tanwar.

Terming withdrawal of the cases as a diversionary tactic, Tanwar blasted the Khattar government and said, “BJP wants to confuse the people of Haryana, who are up in arms against its national president. State leadership of the BJP is in panic. They will not be able to show their face to Shah if his rally gets disrupted. That is why they have announced conciliatory measures so that Amit Shah can address the rally peacefully.”

Another headache for Amit Shah has come in the form of a National Green Tribunal notice, slapped on the Centre and the Haryana government over a petition seeking a reduction in the number of motorbikes at Amit Shah’s rally. Media reports say one lakh motorcyclists are slated to greet Amit Shah at the rally.
