AAP leader Yogendra Yadav's face smeared with ink by unknown attacker in Delhi

 

New Delhi: Senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav's face was smeared with ink by an unidentified man during an event in Delhi today.

The attack happened while the AAP was celebrating Women's Day at Jantar Mantar in the national capital.

Furious AAP activists caught hold of the man hit him repeatedly before the police intervened and led him away.

"I don't know who he was or why he did this. He only said, 'Bharat Mata ki jai'," Mr Yadav, who is his party's candidate from Gurgaon for the Lok Sabha election, said after the attack.

"When you step out to take on bigwigs, you must be prepared for such things. I am not embarrassed by the ink on my face. I only wish better sense prevails over the brother who did this," Mr Yadav said.
