Rahul Gandhi Jostling: BJP and Congress MPs once again came face to face in Parliament on Thursday over the alleged insult of Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar. Both sides were attacking each other accusing each other of insulting Ambedkar when a scuffle broke out in the Parliament premises. BJP MP Pratap Sarangi said that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP in the Lok Sabha. This MP fell on him, then he fell down and got hurt. Meanwhile, while talking to the media on this incident, the Congress MP said that 'This incident has happened. BJP MPs were stopping him from entering the Parliament and were threatening him.'
Rahul Gandhi's clarification on the incident
At the same time, Rahul Gandhi told the media, 'You might have the video of this incident in your camera. I was trying to enter the Parliament through the gate. BJP MPs were trying to stop me. They pushed me and threatened me. After this this incident happened. Yes, there has been an incident of pushing and shoving. Mallikarjun Kharge was being pushed but we were not bothered by it. BJP MPs were stopping us from entering. The main thing is that they are attacking the Constitution and insulting Ambedkar ji. It is our right to enter the Parliament.'
It doesn't matter to them- Rahul
Rahul claimed that opposition leaders were pushed around, but it does not matter to him. The Congress leader said, "This is Parliament and it is our right to go inside." Rahul Gandhi, who often wears a white T-shirt, reached Parliament on Thursday wearing a blue T-shirt. He said that the main issue is that the Constitution and Babasaheb's memory have been insulted. The BJP alleged that Rahul Gandhi pushed, due to which its MP Pratap Sarangi fell and got injured in his head.
