Haryana Cong chief injured as workers clash

NEW DELHI: Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar was seriously injured following a clash between his supporters and those of former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. Many workers were injured in the altercation that took place near Bhairon Mandir, ahead of Rahul Gandhi's rally at Jantar Mantar. RML Hospital spokesperson VK Sinha said, "Tanwar was seriously injured and was vomiting. He has been shifter out of the ICU after initial treatment as he is out of danger." He added that 12-13 Congress workers were given first aid and discharged. The supporters went to Congress headquarters later and submitted their resignation in protest against the incident. They were, however, rejected and senior leaders like Kamal Nath, Digvijaya Singh, Motilal Vohra, and Ghulam Nabi Azad, assured them of action against the guilty.
