Congress MLA slaps woman constable, gets twice back : Watch Video
A Congress MLA in Himachal Pradesh on Friday hit a woman constable after she was stopped from entering the party office in Shimla and was slapped back by the police official.
Asha Kumari, Dalhousie legislator and in charge of Punjab, was allegedly trying to force her way inside the Congress office at Circular Road to attend a review meeting held by party chief Rahul Gandhi to assess its performance in the recently held assembly elections in the hill state.
Party leaders and workers started jostling to enter the office soon after Gandhi went inside the building amid a tight security at the Congress office.
Kumari and former ministers Dhani Ram Shandil and Mukesh Agnihotri got down from their vehicles outside the office and were stopped at the main gate by the constables on security duty.
The 62-year-old leader entered into a heated argument with one of the women constables after she was allegedly pushed. Kumari then slapped the woman constable, who hit her back. She was allowed to enter the Congress office after the fracas.
“I don’t regret the incident but I feel sorry for what happened. It should not have happened. The women cop resorted to unparliamentary language and pushed me. In a rage, I raised my hand in retaliation and she also did the same,” Kumari told reporters outside the Congress office.
She denied seeking any action against the policewoman. “So far I have not made any complaints,” she said.
The video of Kumari slapping the policewoman has gone viral on social media.
