Congress Worker Threatens Suicide In Bid To Convince Rahul To Stay As Party Chief

With Rahul Gandhi unrelenting on his decision to quit as Congress president, a local party worker Tuesday created a flutter outside the party headquarters on Akbar Road in Delhi when he tried to climb a tree to attempt suicide.
He, however, was stopped by Congress leaders and workers present there. Sources said Hanif Khan, a local leader, claimed he would "commit suicide by hanging from a tree" if Gandhi did not take back his decision to resign as party chief.
