THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Indira Bhavan on Saturday witnesses certain dramatic scenes as leaders and Sevadal workers had gathered here to celebrate the founding day of the Congress party.

A minor pandemonium started when KPCC chief Mullapally Ramachandran tried to hoist the Congress flag. Despite repeated attempts, the flag could not be hoisted as the rope to which the flag is tied got stuck.

Getting annoyed, Congress leaders shouted at Sevadal workers vehemently. Rajmohan Unnithan also lost his cool and asked, “What Kind of Sevadal workers are you, who even don’t know how to tie a flag”.

Later, the flag was removed from the mast as many opined that it was not right to keep the flag at the lower part of the mast. In between the melee, Sevadal workers blocked certain media persons who tried to capture the incident in their cameras.

Ironically, certain leaders came forward in support of the media persons, asking “Why should they be blamed or prevented for our failure to hoist the flag?”
