The Hindu
Tension prevailed in front of the Pradesh Congress Office on Friday following a tussle between Congress and members of the women’s wing of BJP.
While the members of the women’s wing of BJP were staging a protest against former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda for allegedly “insulting” women during an agitation against fuel price hike in Haryana, Congress workers, who were holding a meeting at the PCC office, raised objections to the protest by the BJP near their office.
