Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar has been slapped by a youth at the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) centre in Delhi. The minister was attacked as he was leaving the premises after attending a literary function. The attacker, identified as Harvinder Singh, was reportedly angry over the minister's inability to control price rise. "It is up to the police whether they want to press charges against him or not," Mr Pawar said, reacting to the incident.
