New Delhi, Oct 20: Violent scenes were witnessed during a demonstration staged by the activists of the All India Mahila Congress outside VHP headquarter to protest its leader Pravin Togadia's objectionable remarks against Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Allegations of stone pelting were made by both the organisations as more than a dozen Congress and one VHP worker were claimed to be injured in the melee. Claiming that the protesting Congress activists attacked the VHP office, its president Acharya Giriraj Kishore said, "congress is disturbing the peace and order prevailing in the society" and threatened to "reply in the same coin if need arises."
Meanwhile, denying the allegations Delhi Mahila Congress president Ila Anand said, "it is a premeditated attempt to disrepute the Congress party.
Claiming that the demonstration was peaceful, she alleged that "VHP workers pelted stones and tomatoes at the Congress workers from inside the office and mahila workers were injured in the attack."
However, DCP, South-West, Tejinder Luthra said "a case has been registered against Mahila Congress activist as they had no permission to hold the rally."
"Investigations are on to ascertain who started the violence and no arrest has been made so far," he added.
Both the organisations have lodged separate complaints with the police. Earlier Mahila Congress workers also burnt an effigy of Pravin Togadia.
