After the party chief asked his son to hug his uncle to bury the hatchet and send a message that all was well in the party, Akhilesh took up the matter of he being referred to as "Aurangzeb" in a report published in an English newspaper.
While Akhilesh was referring the report in which he was branded as "ruthless Mughal emperor Aurangzeb" as part of a "conspiracy" and took the name of Ashu Malik (MLC) to support him, Shivpal emerged from behind to snatch his mike and remarked "CM is telling a lie... I will also speak" bringing the meeting to an abrupt end.
"It is half truth which led the supporters to create acrimony... I was called by the chief minister to tell how I had sent a notice to the newspaper over the issue for which they (newspersons) said were tipped off by someone in Delhi after which a corrigendum was also published the next day," Malik said.
"But before I could say anything, things turned bad," he said, adding that he was also manhandled by some partymen at the chief minister's residence earlier this morning.
