About a dozen activists were injured in the clash which took place as Youth Congress members, led by Vikramaditya, the son of chief minister Vibhadra Singh, were staging a demonstration at the BJP office against the Land Acquisition Ordinance promulgated by the NDA government at the Centre.
BJP and Congress blamed each other for the clash and three FIRs by police, BJP and Congress were registered while Singh himself had sought anticipatory bail.
Four workers of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, BJP's youth wing, were injured in the clash. Congress has claimed that three Youth Congress workers were also injured in the incident even as it maintains that it was holding a peaceful protest.
