So was it a slap or a motion of Hand that grazed face or just a push?

This is further to yesterdays shameful incident in which congress agriculture minister YS Vivekananda Reddy slapped TDP MLA.

If yesterdays news reports avoided mentioning congress name in the report. Today, it seems that they are even diluting his shameful act.

Yesterday ToI in its news report YSR's brother slaps MLA during Andhra assembly session reported the incident as

,a visibly angry Vivekananda Reddy got up from his seat, walked to the TDP benches and started arguing with its senior member G Muddukrishnammaaidu. Even as the argument was in progress, TDP MLA Prabhakar, who was in the second row, said something to the minister who promptly slapped him and when he attempted to slap the TDP MLA for the second time, Muddukrishnammanaidu came in between and took the blow on his shoulder.

But now within 24 hours it seems the Indian news cant make up its mind on whether it was a slap or a motion of hand that grazed the face or was it pushing and shoving

ToI in its report Viveka ‘slaps’ TDP MLA for anti-YSR rant narrates the incident as

A furious Vivekananda then aimed a slap at Prabhakar that grazed his face. When he attempted again, Muddukrishnamma intervened because of which the blow aimed at Prabhakar brushed the senior TDP MLA and tore the latter's pocket.

I am not sure which part of town ToI lives, but in my part of town such acts are invariable called slapping!

NDTV even refused to acknowledge that there was a physical contact! In their report  YSR's brother tries to slap MLA narrates the incident as

A minister in Andhra Pradesh - the brother of the former Chief Minister YSR Reddy - tried to hit an MLA today in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly.

Hindustan report YSR's brother manhandles TDP MLAs in Andhra house goes a step further and says minister only pushed the MLA

The angry minister rushed to TDP legislators C Prabhakar and GMK Naidu, snatched the placards, showered abuses and even pushed Prabhakar. 

So according to HT, congress agriculture minister YS Vivekananda only pushed TDP MLAs who promptly retaliated. Then it was other
