Attack on Union ministers’ convoy: Rajnath calls Odisha Guv, Patnaik

The cavalcade of Union Ministers Santosh Gangwar and Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti and former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda was pelted with stones allegedly by a group of ruling BJD workers, led by one MLA, when they were on way to attend a meeting in Odisha’s Bargarh to mark two years of the NDA government.

In his telephonic conversation, the Home Minister asked the Chief Minister to look into the incident and take appropriate action to prevent such untoward incidents in the future.

Singh also told Patnaik to ensure safety and security of Union ministers visiting the state.

In his phone call to the Governor, the Home Minister took stock of the incident and asked him to send a detailed report about the incident.
