    IAC rains on Scindia's parade

    IAC rains on Scindia's parade

    UPA Ministers are set to face a rough time in Bihar in the near future as a section of IAC volunteers have planned to stage protests every time they visit the State. Jyotiraditya Scindia became the first Minister to face the music at a Press conference in Patna on Tuesday over alleged irregularities in distribution of coal blocks.

    A scuffle between IAC supporters and Congress workers was triggered when a woman member of India Against Corruption, Archana Sharma, stood up to ask a question on the coal scam from the Minister of State for Commerce and Industry at the Press conference.

    When Congressmen asked her to disclose her identity she said that she represented the voice of the common man which caused the infuriated party workers to force her leave the room.

    Speaking to The Pioneer, IAC coordinator for Bihar Ratnesh Chaudhary said that that he had not received any prior information from the IAC volunteers about their proposed protest at the Press conference. "Volunteers sometimes take steps without informing me and I am uncertain about the identity of these agitators. Nonetheless, we strongly condemn the Congressmen’s behaviour," he said.
