Former Uttarakhand CM and AICC in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat fears acid attack at Congress rally

CHANDIGARH: Former Uttarakhand CM and AICC in-charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat on Thursday raised serious safety concerns about a possible acid attack. In his tweet, he said he has received a tip off from two sources of a possible acid attack at a Congress rally in Uttarakhand. “They said there could be a targeted acid attack on our leaders during the Yatra in Khatima. They may carry the attack by mixing acid in the ink bottle,” he said. Rawat was in Chandigarh this week to sort out differences in the state party gress unit and had courted controversy by referring to the PCC leadership as ‘Panj Pyare’.
