New Delhi: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi cancelled his scheduled rally in Saharanpur today in the wake of party candidate Imran Masood's arrest for his controversial remark against Narendra Modi.

"Rahul Gandhi's rally is being postponed. The next date for it will be decided later on," CLP leader Pradeep Mathur said. The decision to cancel the rally comes after Masood was arrested by police for allegedly threatening to chop BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Modi "into pieces".
