Mansa: The father of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhotta has reportedly asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi not to join the ongoing protest in Mansa demanding justice over his son’s murder.
On Monday, Bhim Singh, Jhotta’s father, publicly said that Rahul Gandhi should stay away from the protest. His statement comes amid a reported political controversy surrounding the participation of political leaders in the demonstration.
