NEW DELHI: Ink and engine oil were thrown on Engineer Rashid , an independent lawmaker from Jammu and Kashmir , at the Press Club in Delhi on Monday, days after he hosted a 'beef party'. This was the second attack on the MLA within a fortnight.

The attack took place when Rashid was addressing a news conference in Delhi.

An outfit called Hindu Sena, led by Vishnu Gupta, has claimed responsibility for ink attack , according to TV reports. Two people have been detained by the police in connection to the ink attack.

Rashid was earlier this month thrashed by BJP MLAs inside the Jammu and Kashmir assembly for hosting a party where he served beef on the lawns of the government circuit house. Rashid and his supporters staged a protest along with his supporters against the attack.

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and his predecessor, National Conference leader Omar Abdullah, had condemned the incident.
