NEW DELHI: Union agriculture minister and NCP chief Sharad Pawar became the latest politician to be the target of physical assault on Thursday afternoon when a small-time transporter from northwest Delhi landed a slap on his face while venting anger at corruption.
The attacker, Harvinder Singh, 27, had on Saturday assaulted former telecom minister Sukh Ram while he was being led away from court. Singh's family said he had been treated for a mental ailment in the past.
Local NCP leaders in support of Saharad Pawar called for bandhs on Friday at several places in Maharashtra while protests erupted in Mumbai and other cities.
