Sources said senior party leaders at AICC talked to UP Pradesh Congress leaders and took the decision in view of public safety.
A decision will also be taken by Pradesh Congress Committees (PCCs) in other poll-bound states like Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur soon, a Congress leader told PTI.
The AICC has asked all PCCs in the poll-bound states to assess the situation in their respective states and then take a call on postponement of rallies and public functions.
The PCCs would soon take a call on this, the party sources said.
