Congress, BJP councillors get into fist fight

Kutch: A fist fight broke out between BJP and Congress councillors as well as their supporters during a general body meeting of Bhuj municipality here on Thursday.

After the incident, police protection has been provided at the residences of leaders of both parties.

Before the general body meeting began, a consensus had been arrived at, that only elected municipal councillors would participate and supporters would not be allowed to do so.
However, BJP leader Parakramsinh Jadeja`s supporters attended the meeting, which infuriated Congress leader Hamid Bhatti, who objected to their presence.

Soon, a fist fight broke out between supporters of both the leaders and the meeting had to be conducted under police protection.
