Indian Overseas Congress chairman, Sam Pitroda, apologized to India Today journalist Rohit Sharma after the latter was assaulted by Congress workers in Dallas. The incident occurred when Sharma questioned Pitroda about Rahul Gandhi addressing the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. In a personal call, Pitroda expressed deep disappointment and assured a thorough investigation, stating, "I stand firmly for press freedom." The attack happened ahead of Rahul Gandhi's U.S. visit as Leader of Opposition. Pitroda emphasized that such behavior toward journalists is unacceptable and those responsible will be held accountable.
