The Bharatiya Janata Party announced a series of marches across Himachal Pradesh to protest the SIR, and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will attend a rally in Shimla on November 1.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has scheduled a set of marches throughout Himachal Pradesh as a response to the recently released SIR. Party officials said the rallies will be organized in multiple districts, aiming to mobilise supporters and highlight the party’s stance on the issue.
The schedule lists November 1 as the focal day, when a major rally is planned in Shimla, the state capital. The event is expected to draw large crowds and feature speeches by senior BJP leaders.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has confirmed his participation in the Shimla rally, signalling inter‑state party solidarity. His presence is likely to boost the rally’s visibility and underscore the BJP’s coordinated effort across northern India.
Election analysts note that such statewide mobilisations are typical of the BJP’s strategy ahead of upcoming electoral contests, though the party has not disclosed any specific policy demands linked to the SIR at this stage.
