Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has strongly condemned the attack on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, labeling it as an 'assault on democracy.' The attack took place during a 'Jan Sunwai' programme.
Dhami expressed that attacking a public figure during such an event compromises the democratic process. He emphasized that such actions are not only condemnable but fundamentally unacceptable, urging for strict punitive measures against the offenders.
The assailant, identified as Rajesh Sakaria from Rajkot, Gujarat, has a notable criminal history with previous charges. Gupta's office claims the attack was a 'well-planned conspiracy to kill her.' Delhi Police has since registered an FIR for attempted murder.
