Police File Case Against Rahul Gandhi on BJP’s Complaint
A case has been registered against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi following a complaint filed by two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Members of Parliament (MPs). The complaint alleges that the Congress leader injured the BJP MPs during a scuffle in the Lok Sabha.
Allegations of Physical Altercation
The incident reportedly occurred during a heated exchange in the ongoing Lok Sabha session. According to the BJP MPs, Rahul Gandhi’s actions during the altercation resulted in injuries to them. The complaint was filed with the police, prompting the registration of a case under sections related to causing hurt and other relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
BJP’s Reaction
The BJP has strongly condemned the alleged incident, calling it an “assault on parliamentary decorum.” Party leaders stated that such behavior is unbecoming of a senior leader and reflects poorly on the ethos of democratic debate.
Congress’s Response
Meanwhile, the Congress party has dismissed the allegations as baseless and politically motivated. Party spokespersons have stated that the BJP is attempting to divert attention from pressing issues by targeting opposition leaders.
A senior Congress leader remarked that the allegations are an “attempt to suppress the opposition’s voice in Parliament.” The party is expected to issue a formal statement soon, defending Rahul Gandhi and challenging the claims made by the BJP MPs.
Police Investigation Underway
The police have launched an investigation into the matter. Statements from witnesses present during the incident are being recorded, and security camera footage from the Lok Sabha is likely to be reviewed.
Political Tensions Escalate
This incident has further escalated tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress. With Parliament already witnessing disruptions over various issues, this development is likely to add to the ongoing turmoil.
As the investigation unfolds, the matter is expected to gain significant political attention, potentially impacting the proceedings in the current session of Parliament.
