From correspondents in Punjab, India, 12:04 PM IST

Legislators of Punjab's ruling Akali Dal and opposition Congress Tuesday got into a scuffle inside the assembly over the issue of the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

The free-for-all started when Congress legislators moved towards Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal while he was replying to a call attention motion on the state's law and order situation.

Badal was immediately surrounded by Akali Dal legislators and the scuffle ensued.
