A Congress MLA from Himachal Pradesh got a tit-for-tat response from a lady constable in Shimla on Friday. MLA Asha Kumari got into an argument with the constable and slapped her, the cop retaliated and immediately slapped her back.

Asha Kumari, an MLA from Dalhousie, was reportedly denied entry to the venue where Congress president Rahul Gandhi was holding a review meeting. Kumari had an altercation with a woman constable over the entry to the venue.

During the argument, the MLA slapped the woman constable, and the lady immediately slapped her back. The incident took place in a crowded area and people held both of them back to stop the fight from getting uglier.

"She (woman constable) abused me and pushed me, she should have shown restrain, I am her mother's age, but yes I agree I should not have lost my temper. I apologize," Kumari told the media after the incident.

Kumari is a five-time MLA from Dalhousie. She is also the All India Congress Committee secretary and AICC in charge of Punjab. She was the Education Minister of the state from 2003 to 2005.
