“If a fight had occurred between the two groups, there would have been bloodshed. To prevent that, I called the police and spoke to them rather sternly. I had to speak that way to quell the disturbance there. To prevent a fight from happening, I took the MLA aside. I didn't abuse him, neither did I hit him. I only tried to prevent a fight from happening. I had no other intention beyond that”
