Congress Expels Bikaner Father‑Son Duo for Six Years After Assault on District President

The assault on Bikaner district president Madaan Gopal Meghwal took place on a Wednesday, when a father and his son allegedly struck the senior Congress leader during a public meeting. The pair were subsequently expelled from the party for a period of six years, a decision announced by the party’s state unit.
