A scuffle breaks out between Congress leaders during a protest march in Old Faridabad, Haryana, with videos showing Parag Sharma and Gajna Lamba exchanging slaps. According to reports, the confrontation begins when Sharma is seen slapping Lamba, who then retaliates. Congress district president Baljit Kaushik is reported to have tried to intervene to separate them.
Outlets describe the broader protest as part of an INDIA bloc rally against the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar. NDTV and the Times of India also place the incident within a march held in Old Faridabad, running from Chandi Wali Dharamshala toward Pathwari Mandir. Times of India says a complaint was reportedly filed at Faridabad Old Police Station, though police have not verified it. Free Press Journal adds that the march’s leadership included state Congress president Pearl Chaudhary and district president Baljeet Kaushik, and notes that the dispute reportedly escalates during movement within the procession. The Free Press Journal also references similar footage from Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura involving Congress workers.
