The Congress youth wing has suspended dozens of office-bearers across multiple states for failing to attend the INDIA bloc's rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on November 1. So far, over 80 office-bearers have been suspended and asked to explain themselves, and sources said the number could eventually rise to 500. Around 60 Indian Youth Congress (IYC) office-bearers from Madhya Pradesh, at least 13 from Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh and around 10 from Haryana have been suspended, and the process is underway in other states, sources said. The IYC had directed all its national, state and district office-bearers to attend the rally and the march before it without exception.
