Pigeon stuffed in Rocket and fired to welcome Congress leader

A shocking video has surfaced in which Congress workers in Andhra Pradesh's Kovvuru town have been seen stuffing live pigeons inside fire crackers and setting it alight. The idea was that the pigeons will be released when the rockets burst and fly off - making for a grand spectacle during the visit of state Congress chief N Raghuveera Reddy. But the rockets went up and the pigeons fell dead, roasted in the intense heat when the crackers burst high up.
