Rohtak: A meeting of politician-turned-social activist Naveen Jaihind was held on Sunday at a BPL flat here, where supporters of minister Arvind Sharma also arrived, resulting in a ruckus.
A physical scuffle broke out between both sides, prompting Naveen Jaihind to call the police.
Jaihind convened the meeting for his supporters, but some individuals reportedly aligned with Arvind Sharma arrived from distant areas. While Jaihind was speaking, a few men grabbed the microphone and began interrupting, urging him to stay away from the ongoing dispute between MLA Ramkumar Gautam and minister Arvind Sharma.
Their comments sparked outrage among Jaihind's supporters, leading to the scuffle.
Ramesh Sharma, who came from Pillukheda to attend the meeting, claimed he was merely explaining an issue that began over jalebi (a sweet dish) when supporters of Jaihind manhandled him and forced him out. He confirmed the altercation took place during this exchange.
Sudama Phogat, a resident of Rithal who also attended the meeting, said he was invited by Jaihind via a Facebook post.

According to him, Naveen Jaihind had no right to speak on the issue between Ramkumar Gautam and Arvind Sharma. "We came to the meeting to suggest that both leaders resolve their issues amicably. Minister Arvind Sharma also wants peace and sent us with that intention. But we were not treated with respect," he said.
Activist Naveen Jaihind accused minister Arvind Sharma of sending disruptive elements to sabotage the meeting.
"A minister in the state govt is sending goons to create conflict at a peaceful gathering. Who gave Arvind Sharma the licence to instigate such chaos? Is it arrogance of power?" Jaihind questioned.
He warned the minister not to try intimidating him and demanded an official investigation by chief minister Nayab Saini. "What if something serious happened? Who would be held accountable?" he asked.
Jaihind claimed that Sharma was upset over losing credit for the Lord Parshuram Jayanti event recently held in Peharawar village of the district.
"That credit went to jailed spiritual leaders, whose followers are now publicly claiming that Sharma brought busloads of devotees from Haryana Roadways under the guise of organising the event," he alleged.
