BJP leaders claimed their march was peaceful but alleged that they were attacked first from inside the Congress office. Meanwhile, Congress workers accused BJP of deliberately provoking the situation.Police faced criticism for failing to control the violence despite prior announcements of the BJP protest march. Senior officials have now rushed to the scene, assuring that the situation is under control. Authorities have promised a full investigation into the matter and strict action against those involved.
