Congress leader Ravneet Bittu on Wednesday alleged that his cavalcade was attacked near Batala in Punjab's Gurdaspur district. According to Bittu, supporters of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) targeted the convoy during the incident.
Bittu claimed that over 100 AAP workers participated in the attack, during which stones and eggs were hurled at his cavalcade. The Congress leader did not provide further details about the timing or exact location of the alleged incident.
The allegation comes amid heightened political activity in Punjab, with various parties intensifying their campaigns and ground-level mobilisation efforts across the state. Such incidents of alleged attacks on political convoys have occasionally been reported during periods of intense political competition.
