Traders in Madhya Pradesh responded with mixed reactions to the half-day bandh staged by the Congress on Saturday in order to oppose the spiralling fuel prices. Around 100 Congress workers led by former minister PC Sharma were detained by police in Bhopal as they tried to shut down shops forcefully. Cloth merchant Yogesh Bhatia who runs a shop in the Ranjhi area of Jabalpur complained that Congress workers beat him up after he denied their request to shut shops in support of the bandh. Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee chief Kamal Nath extended gratitude towards the public for making the bandh successful.
