IAC, Cong Members Clash at Scindia's Press Conference
Supporters of India Against Corruption and Congress workers were involved in a scuffle at Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia's press conference here today.

Trouble broke out when IAC supporter Archana Sharma was pushed out of the conference hall, where the press conference was being held, by Congress workers while she was trying to ask a question to Scindia, the Union Minister of State for Industries and Commerce.

The Congressmen asked her whether she was a journalist and when she refused to divulge her identity they allegedly pushed her out of the hall branding her as an RSS agent.

While being pushed out, Sharma shouted 'Bharat mata ki jai'. She again raised slogan 'Anna Hazare zindabad, Bharat Mata ki jai' after coming out of the hall.

Angered by the act of Congress activists, IAC supporters raised slogans against the UPA government for arresting cartoonist Aseem Trivedi and also sought resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on coal blocks allotment.

Infuriated by the slogan shouting, Congress workers then tried to physically remove the protesters from the courtyard of the venue and in the process some anti-corruption protestors had their clothes torn.

Scindia, whose appeal to the Congress workers to allow Sharma to ask her question went in vain, later met the lady outside and heard her demands patiently.

She urged the minister to intervene in the release of the cartoonist, but the latter excused himself by saying that the matter was sub-judice.

Scindia also scolded Congress workers for misbehaving with IAC supporters.

" IAC guys are proving again and again that they are more against Congress than again corruption."

Actually being against Congress is not different than being against corruption. With today's congress party, they are both same.

corruption is only a relative term as we have corrupt people say a police constable happy receving a graft of 10 bucks and senior minister still not happy taking in crores and here the phrase two wrongs  dosent make one right looks like a farce as small and large corrupption being the same and the crime being the same.

so the fight as such is aginst who is more corrupt.the congress ruled the country for six decades and its they who may have minted billions and stashed it away abroad.we already have some 18 names of those who did that.they may not be politicians but it could well be a begining of the end of the congress,.As we know both the congress and its ardent supporters are intolerant people.they hate dissent and will always try to decimate dissent and will go to any extent unashemedly to nail its rivals and detractors not politically but misusing the government machinery.Ane when it finds some resistence it will accuse them of being hand in glove with the opposition like its accusing a constitutional body like CAG.

If BJP is corrupt then its opponents have all the right to expose them.the problem with the congress is that they wan to show themselves as the saints and thier rivals as sinners.

If Ramdev and Anna Hazare  has the backing of BJP/RSS and hence they are not talking of the BJP corruption then the vote bank minorities of the congres obviosly not raising the corruption of the congress and not taking part in any kind of anti corruption campaigns.This proves who are supporting the corruption of the congress and shifting the blame on others.

the congress tried to plant some mebers of minority community in the Anna Hazare movement  but it didnt took long for those who are restive to showthier true colours and came out trying to paint Anna movement as communal.We have also sen how Ramdev was attacked by sprinkling some ink on his face and the congress and its crony media not taking up that issue seriously because no one wants to be branded as communal but only want to get identified with pseudo seculars.

let the law take its own course on corrption of both the congress and the BJP.some one trying to polarise this here is only exposing thier true colour

This is a typical ploy of the congres to first letting loose its rowdy cadres on rivals and then the minister as if a saint issuing a statement and regretting the incident..THIS ONLY SHOWS HOW THE CONGRESS IS DESPERATE

>> There is loads of corruption in the BJP, but I do not see these goons trying to disrupt any BJP press conference.

Amusing to see that even as the Congress goondas are indulging in goondagardi in public, and beating up IAC activists, all that the resident jehadi is able to do is vomit his hatred for the BJP, which is not even mentioned in the article.

If Doggy Singh is ever found lacking in his stupidity, Sonia has a ready made poodle to replace him.
