Two of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) Minority wing leaders in Rajasthan openly clashed during a meeting in Jaipur on Thursday. The clash took place in the meeting in which state president Madan Rathore was also present.
A video of the incident shared by news agency PTI showed both the leaders Javed Qureshi and Jackie hitting and slapping each other, grabbing collars, in front of all party workers. The two were reportedly engaged in a heated exchange of words before the situation spiraled out of control.
Meanwhile, the nearly weeklong deadlock in the Rajasthan Assembly over state minister Avinash Gehlot’s remark on former prime minister Indira Gandhi ended on Thursday following Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma’s intervention.
Sharma held a meeting with Speaker Vasudev Devnani and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully in the speaker’s chamber and resolved the issue.
With the impasse ending, Congress legislators entered the House and took part in the proceedings.
Jully thanked Sharma for taking the initiative to break the deadlock.
