A few hours after the clash between members of the ruling and opposition parties at Parliament’s Makardwar, the BJP held a press conference and accused senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of “un-Indian” behavior and that he is unfit to hold the post of leader. of the opposition.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan came down hard on the opposition parties, especially the Congress, saying: “What happened in Parliament today … “pushing, hooliganism” … unfair and indecent behavior … which is a It’s civilization. Society can’t even imagine.”
He was accompanied by Union Minister Piyush Goyal and party MPs Anurag Thakur and Anil Baluni.
Informing about the health of the two BJP members who were injured in the incident, Chauhan said: “Today when the BJP MPs were protesting at Makardwar, Rahul Gandhi came and asked them to go through instead of using the space left on one side. The staircase used by members to enter and exit the building. Our elderly, decent and disciplined MP Pratap Sarangi suffered a serious head injury. He was admitted to the ICU and Mukesh Rajput was unconscious were
Chauhan said that the people will elect their leaders in Parliament with the hope that they will present their issues with facts and logic. “But the Congress is changing it … Is physical force used in Parliament?” Gandhi’s behavior was not only indecent but disgraceful,” Chauhan said.
He said the party was also hurt by the treatment meted out to Nagaland tribal MP S Phangnon Konya, who alleged in the Rajya Sabha that Rahul Gandhi shouted at him after coming “closer to him” which made him feel uncomfortable. “I want to ask Rahul Gandhi…was his behavior decent and respectful? Is this the culture of India?” He said.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that after a woman TDP MP, Pratap Sarangi, was injured, some MPs called Rahul and questioned his behaviour. “He came and left as if nothing had happened. He did not show the courtesy of apologizing… He tried to hurt Pratap Sarangi badly… He pushed and assaulted everyone… He should apologize for that.”
