Kharge was paying tribute to a head constable who was killed in an ongoing operation with terrorists in Kathua. Two other police personnel have been injured in the incident and one terrorist has been killed.
“He was addressing a public rally in Jasrota when he felt uneasy and dizzy. His colleagues helped him into a chair,” Congress general secretary Gulam Ahmed Mir told PTI.
He added that the Congress president is stable.
Kharge had flown to Jasrota to address a rally to garner support for his party candidates in the assembly polls.
He is also scheduled to address another public rally in Ramnagar in Udhampur district.
Jammu and Kashmir Congress vice president Ravindra Sharma said Kharge felt dizzy and was taken to a room, where doctors were called for a check-up. They will advise whether he can attend the second rally or not, he said.(PTI)
