“Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has issued strict instructions that no political party, Member of Parliament or groups of members will hold any dharna and demonstration at building gates of Parliament House,” PTI quoted parliament sources saying.
Earlier today, Both NDA and INDIA bloc MPs staged a protest outside the Parliament’s Makar dwar, accusing each other of disrespecting BR. Ambedkar. The incident turned into high-voltage after a scuffle broke out leading to the injury of two BJP MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput. The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of pushing the senior member after which its MPs were injured.
Three NDA MPs, including Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj, reached the same police station to file a complaint against Rahul Gandhi.
“We have filed a complaint with Delhi Police against Rahul Gandhi for assault and incitement. We have mentioned in detail the incident that happened today outside Makar Dwar, where NDA MPs were protesting peacefully… We have given a complaint under Sections 109, 115, 117, 125, 131 and 351. Section 109 is attempt to murder, Section 117 is voluntary causing grievous hurt,” BJP MP Anurag Thakur said after meeting police officials.Delhi Police later registered an FIR against Rahul Gandhi.
Meanwhile, Congress alleged that BJP parliamentarians were carrying sticks, and they threatened and shoved Rajya Sabha Opposition Leader Mallikarjun Kharge.
Congress filed a complaint against BJP alleging party leaders misbehaved with its chief Mallikarjun Kharge, an officer said.
Talking about the complaint, Congress alleged that the BJP MPs have misbehaved with the party chief Kharge.”Today, MPs of INDIA Alliance were protesting in the Parliament premises against the insult of Babasaheb. When the INDIA alliance MPs reached Makar Dwar, the BJP MPs already present there pushed and misbehaved with the Congress President Mr. @kharge and the Leader of the Opposition Mr. @RahulGandhi,” the Congress said in a post on X.
Later in the day the two parties also held press conferences in which the Congress accused the BJP of orchestrating the scuffle to divert from Adani row and Amit Shah’s anti-Ambedkar remark.
“A few days before the Parliament session, the Adani case came up in America and the BJP tried to stop the discussion on it. The basic strategy of the BJP was that there should be no discussion on the Adani case, it should be suppressed… After that Amit Shah’s statement came and we have been saying from the beginning that the thinking of the BJP and the RSS is anti-Constitution, anti-Ambedkar,” Rahul Gandhi said during a press brief on Thursday.
Meanwhile, BJP’s Shivraj Singh Chouhan claimed that Rahul indulged in “goondaism” and “purposely and in planned way scuffled with BJP MPs and resorted to violence”. “Congress and other MPs have been staging protests at Makar Dwar almost daily and we also enter Parliament without disturbing them. However, Rahul Gandhi purposely and in a planned way scuffled with BJP MPs and resorted to violence,” Shivraj Chouhan said. The BJP, in its press conference also said Rahul Gandhi’s “behaviour was unimaginable in a civilised society” and that he was “not fit to hold the leader of opposition post in Lok Sabha”.
