NEW DELHI: BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi on Thursday alleged that leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, pushed an MP causing Sarangi to fall on him injuring his head.
The incident happened during Congress’s protest over Amit Shah’s ‘Ambedkar remark’ during Parliament’s winter session on Thursday.
Sarangi, recounting the incident, said, “I was standing near the stairs when Rahul Gandhi came and pushed an MP, who then fell on me. As a result, I lost my balance and fell down.”
Rahul refutes charges
Rahul Gandhi, addressed the scuffle that occurred during a Parliament protest, where he and other opposition leaders were pushed by BJP MPs.
Rahul explained that he was attempting to enter through the Parliament entrance when BJP MPs attempted to block his path, leading to physical altercations.
“This might be on your camera. I was trying to go inside through the Parliament entrance, BJP MPs were trying to stop me, push me and threaten me. So this happened,” Rahul said.
“Yes, this has happened (Mallikarjun Kharge being pushed). But we do not get affected by jostling. But this is the entrance and we have the right to go in. BJP MPs were trying to stop us from going in. The central issue is that they are attacking the Constitution and insulting the memory of Ambedkar ji,” he added further.
