KOLKATA, May 15 (PTI): Dissent within the Congress over seat allotment for the Kolkata Municipal Corporation took an ugly turn today when a section of partymen heckled WBPCC chief and Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee and attacked journalists at the PCC office here.

A group of partymen, led by Ward-55 Block Congress Committee president Swapan Das, was holding a demonstration in front of the PCC office Bidhan Bhavan demanding that Sabita Das, wife of local Congress leader Arun Das, be nominated as the candidate for the ward.

Mukherjee, who was to announce the list of party nominees for elections to the 141-seat KMC, arrived at the PCC office with vice-president Pradip Bhattacharya and another leader around 12.30 p.m. As soon as he stepped out of his car, the protesters grabbed him by his kurta, shouting slogans in support of their demand and hurling invectives.

Securitymen immediately cordoned off Mukherjee and led him into the office.

The protesters also asked newsmen to boycott Mukherjee�s press conference. When they refused, a section of the protesters rained blows on them, seriously injuring the senior journalist of a Bengali daily in the eye.

Mukherjee�s press conference, which was scheduled at 1 p.m., began more than 30 minutes later.
