of the

Aam Admi Party

, Satinderpal Singh Tajpuri of the Punjab Lok Congress, and Tarun Jain

Bawa

of the Sanyukt Samaj Morcha were on stage during this LMA (Ludhiana Management Association) function when a section of the audience that included Congress supporters started the ruckus. The organisers tried their best to calm everyone down and prevent the situation from turning ugly but some of the people kept arguing and shouting. The meeting ended on a note after Ashu and Maheshinder Grewal walked off the stage sometime after Bawa. In all this melee, both Kang and Tajpuri kept their cool and remained on the stage to interact with the audience.
