BHOPAL: Former Madhya Pradesh minister P C Sharma said he and several other Congress leaders and workers were detained here by the police on Saturday during the state-wide half-day bandh called by his party to protest against the rising fuel prices.
The call for half-day bandh has so far evoked mixed response as many shops in Bhopal and elsewhere could be seen functioning as usual.
While the ruling BJP said the bandh has failed, the opposition Congress claimed that it has received a good response.
