Activists from the Congress Party try to flee after their clothes caught fire while they were trying to burn an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a protest in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh yesterday. Media reported Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, chief of Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee, as saying that at least five Congress activists suffered burns during the protest against the central government, accusing it of a “vendetta” against the Gandhi family by launching court cases against them.
