Union
Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, who was slapped by a man
Thursday, said he did not think it was a breach of security and
would not react.
"Why should I react? I won't call it breach of security because I
don't take security with me. I'll see if this needs to be
reviewed," Pawar told a news channel.
"I was going to my car and there was a group of journalists and
they were asking some questions. At the same time, I saw him (the
attacker) trying to come forward...It looked like he was with the
group of journalists," Pawar added.
The turbaned Sikh man, Harvinder Singh, had also attacked former
telecommunications minister Sukh Ram here four days ago.
Singh also took out his kirpan when security guards tried to
overpower him and whisk him away.
Pawar refused to comment on reports that Harvinder Singh had
attacked him on the issue of rising prices.
Harvinder Singh was detained at the Parliament Street police
station.
