The Congress party in Haryana has raised objections over rumors that Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, convicted of rape, might be granted parole ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. The Congress wrote to the Election Commission, calling it a violation of the Model Code of Conduct. Ram Rahim, who has received multiple paroles before elections in the past, is reportedly seeking release for his father’s death anniversary. The Congress fears his parole could influence the election outcome. The final decision on the parole rests with Haryana’s Chief Minister. Voting in the state is scheduled for Saturday.
