Politics in India has heated up following a dramatic incident of jostling in Parliament, with the BJP accusing Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, of pushing two MPs, Mukesh Rajput and Pratap Sarangi. The altercation led to both MPs sustaining injuries and being admitted to the hospital. The incident has sparked a fierce political debate, with opposition leaders claiming that BJP MPs attempted to prevent Gandhi from moving, resulting in a physical confrontation.
The Video and Allegations of Hooliganism
A video that surfaced on social media shows Rahul Gandhi walking towards the area where MP Pratap Sarangi was seated after being injured. Upon noticing Gandhi, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey became visibly upset, accusing him of engaging in “hooliganism” and pushing an elderly man, causing him to fall. BJP leader Amit Malviya shared the video on X, claiming that Sarangi was injured when Gandhi pushed another MP, which led to Sarangi’s fall. Malviya further accused the Gandhi family of arrogance and negligence, alleging that the Congress leadership resorted to physical aggression in Parliament.
BJP Demands Action Against Rahul Gandhi
In response to the incident, BJP leader Jagat Prakash Nadda called for a censure motion to be passed in the Rajya Sabha, condemning Rahul Gandhi’s actions. Nadda stated that the Congress party had lost its composure during a parliamentary discussion on the Constitution. He also alleged that Gandhi physically confronted BJP MPs who were peacefully protesting, ultimately causing the injuries to the two MPs.
Political Tensions Escalate Over Parliamentary Behavior
The incident has intensified tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition, with both sides exchanging accusations of misconduct. As the controversy continues to unfold, the political landscape in India remains charged, with Parliament as the focal point of a fierce battle over allegations of aggression and inappropriate behavior.
