Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and enquired about his health, news agency PTI reported.

Kharge also highlighted Congress’s historical contributions, referencing former prime ministers. "Who freed Bangladesh? Indira Gandhi did it. The 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' slogan was given by us. Pakistan was defeated by us under Lal Bahadur Shastri. This is Congress," he remarked.

The Congress president was in Jasrota to garner support for the party's candidates in the upcoming assembly polls. Jammu and Kashmir Congress Vice President Ravindra Sharma mentioned that doctors had examined Kharge after the incident and would decide whether he could attend a second rally scheduled for Ramnagar in Udhampur district.
