BJP MP Anurag Thakur speaking on the incident said:

“We have filed a police complaint against Rahul Gandhi. He deliberately provoked and physically attacked NDA MPs. Mukesh Rajput got head injury and Pratap Sarangi’s head got injured.”

Thakur made serious allegations against Rahul Gandhi saying that:

“Rahul Gandhi did not listen to the security forces and deliberately went on the path where NDA MPs were protesting. His attitude was angry and criminal. This family always considers itself above the law.”

allegation of bansuri swaraj

BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj termed Rahul Gandhi’s behavior as “indecent and criminal”. He said:

“The security forces have repeatedly requested Rahul Gandhi that an alternative route has been made for him, through which he can enter Parliament peacefully. But they rejected this request and created an atmosphere of confrontation.”

Bansuri stressed that this attitude of Rahul Gandhi was a threat to the safety of MPs, and that is why a complaint has been filed against him.

IPC sections: On what charges was the case registered?

Congress’s counterattack

Congress has termed these allegations of BJP as completely baseless. The party has said that this is an attempt to divert attention from the issue. Congress spokesperson said:

“BJP is deliberately trying to suppress the voice of the opposition. Rahul Gandhi had tried to express his views in a peaceful manner, but the ruling party gave it a wrong colour.”

Political meaning of the incident

This incident of pushing and shoving in Parliament has become a symbol of the deepening conflict between the opposition and the government.

• BJP: Calling Rahul Gandhi aggressive and irresponsible.
