Pandemonium in Punjab assembly as Akali Dal stages protest

Noisy scenes were witnessed in the Punjab Assembly on Monday with state minister Navjot Singh Sidhu and Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia engaging in a heated exchange after the latter sought dismissal of the cricketer-turned-politician for his "utterances" in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack.

Sidhu and Majithia used "objectionable" words against each other, which were lost in the verbal duel between the two legislators from Amritsar district. They also indulged in angry gestures and launched personal attacks against each other.
