Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has demanded an FIR under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in connection with the Haldwani 'shuddhikaran' incident. He characterized the incident as both a crime and an act of untouchability.

Gandhi alleged that the BJP and RSS do not want Dalits to progress, linking the Haldwani incident to broader concerns about discrimination.
