The trigger for the scuffle was a motion passed by Congress and AAP councillors demanding Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over his remarks on BR Ambedkar.

The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation meeting descended into chaos, resembling a WWE wrestling ring, due to a dispute over remarks made about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The conflict arose when BJP councillor Saurabh Joshi allegedly made derogatory comments about Ambedkar, prompting AAP councillors to protest. The situation escalated when AAP councillor Jasbir Singh Laddi fired a water cannon at BJP councillors, leading to physical altercations. The meeting was disrupted multiple times, with councillors from both parties engaging in heated exchanges and physical confrontations. The mayor, Kuldeep Kumar Dhalor, struggled to maintain order, and the session was eventually adjourned without any significant business being conducted. This incident highlights the ongoing political tensions and the lack of decorum in local governance meetings.
