Congress workers in Tamilnadu on Saturday (6 April) attacked a photojournalist for taking pictures of empty chairs at a meeting organised by the party, reports ANI.
In the video, the journalist who reported for a Tamilnadu weekly magazine could be seen being assaulted by Congress party workers during an election meeting.
The extreme high-handedness of the Congress workers was caught on camera when the journalist in question began clicking pictures of the empty chairs before the party meeting began.
The photojournalist identified as RM Muthuraj, was manhandled by workers of the party headed by Rahul Gandhi, who then tried to snatch his camera. In response, other journalists present at the venue intervened and a brawl broke out between the two groups.
