Wrong parking on 1 way two lane street

Few days ago I tried to park my car on a public parallel parking at museum street in-front of safeer hotel but an Indian guy came up-to me and start scolding at me saying this is a hotel parking and he also outcry to park the car diagonally as other were car parked which was a wrong way of parking. He threatened me to call the police and asked me that i want my car to be taken to industrial area. He also tried to get my mobile number. I refused to give him my no and said call the police now and we will see if i get fined or the others who are parking in the wrong direction. I also asked the reception if this is hotel parking and they said no. There was another Arabi guy from hotel who seems to be understanding and I explained him that I am parking in the right way. If I parked that way then it would blocked the one lane and leaving only a place for one car to continue on the road.Anyway, as I am a peaceful person therefore i parked my car as the same way as others were parked.

This is my first post. Please comment.

On that street if you park diagonally then you have violated the parking rules and have not taken two car places, instead you have blocked the way for the second lane

My car is not in the picture.But it was parked parallel to the road right in front of Safeer hotel. May be near white van. Then I parked it diagonally.

Only think one thing that if the traffic police is on a round to that area, who will be fined for wrong parking you, others or that guy ?

There can only be 3 possibilities to resolve this as i know.

1. Ignore that guy and continue following the traffic rules.

2. Convince him for not parking in wrong way.

3. Park somewhere else.

you should park parallel and not diagonal. do not follow others if from the start you know already that it is not the correct way.
