Congressmen come to blows at meeting

Sangrur, Nov 4 (UNI) Congressmen owing allegiance to two rival factions came to blows during a party worker's rally in Dirba today.

According to eye witnesses, when former Dirba MLA, Gurcharan Singh was addressing the meeting, a member of the rival faction, led by the present MLA Surjit Singh Dhiman, snatched the mike from him and then threw him off the dias.

This led to a scuffle between members of the two groups. All this happened in the presence of Chief Parliamentary secretary Harbans Lal and Mr Dhiman.

Later District Congress chief Surinderpal Singh Sibia, who was also present at the rally, said disciplinary action would be taken against the guilty partymen.
