‘Rahul Gandhi climbed Makar Dwar, pushed MPs’: BJP claims it ‘saw the ugly face’ of Congress during Parliament brawl | Latest news India

Speaking to news agency ANI, Dubey said he and another leader saw Gandhi walking through the Parliament gate and decided to give him space.

“After climbing up, he pushed Pratap Sarangi ji, Santosh Pandey ji who is next to us. Mukesh Rajput ji was pushed and everyone who was standing there was pushed. For the first time I saw the face “ugly of this party. The way our MPs were pushed around, behaved badly and after that they had no remorse, it was reprehensible,” he added.

Earlier in the day, Dubey issued a notice of breach of privilege against Gandhi to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, accusing the Congress MP of showing the minister’s “criminally altered” Rajya Sabha speech. Union Interior, Amit Shah.

In the notice to Birla, the BJP MP claimed that Gandhi had once again demonstrated a case of “political bankruptcy” by sharing on social media, particularly X, the “edited” version of Shah’s speech during of the debate on the Constitution in the Rajya Sabha.

He alleged that the video was shared with the sole aim of whipping up public sentiments and harming the dignity of Parliament and the nation.

The grand old party shared a short clip of the Home Minister’s speech to accuse him of insulting Dr BR Ambedkar, with Shah accusing the Congress of disrupting his speech.

Dubey said Shah had raised the reprehensible treatment meted out to Ambedkar by none other than Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister.

He alleged that Gandhi cleverly cut the context of Shah’s words with the ulterior motive of defaming him and attacking the dignity of Parliament.

“This time he (Gandhi) has exceeded all limits of sensible behavior expected from the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and thereby committed the offense of ‘violation of parliamentary privileges’ and ‘contempt of the House’ which calls for exemplary punishment”, Dubey’s opinion said.

He noted that the punishment for this could not be less than immediate suspension of Gandhi from the House and its committees, followed by a thorough investigation by the Privileges Committee.

Amid opposition protests over Shah’s remarks on Ambedkar, an ugly scuffle broke out between ruling alliance MPs and INDIA bloc leaders, leading to the critical injury of two BJP members, Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput.

Following this incident, the BJP filed a complaint against Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of “assault, incitement and attempted murder”.

In response to the saffron party’s complaint, the Congress also filed a police complaint and alleged “misconduct” with Mallikarjun Kharge inside the Parliament premises.

Rahul Gandhi had alleged that BJP MPs pushed him in a bid to obstruct his entry into the House and claimed that the ruling party leaders also manhandled Kharge.

In addition, the major party claimed Friday that Thursday’s fight was “completely planned.” Congress MP Jairam Ramesh told ANI that the incident was aimed at “distracting” the issue from Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks on Ambedkar.
