Rahul Gandhi faces FIR over parliament scuffle
Delhi Police have filed an FIR against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after a heated scuffle at Parliament that reportedly left two BJP MPs injured.
The FIR has been lodged under different sections, including voluntary causing grievous hurt and criminal intimidation. The FIR is apparently based on allegations that Gandhi physically assaulted BJP MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput. The two MPs are reportedly undergoing treatment for head injuries at the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
The BJP, through MP Hemang Joshi in coordination with Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj, filed a complaint against Gandhi for incitement and physical assault and demanded that charges be framed against him for murder attempt. The Congress followed it up by filing a complaint raising misbehavior by BJP members of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.
Rejecting the allegations, Gandhi said, “They have blocked our way to the House. The Home Minister must apologize. All this is an effort to divert attention from the Adani case.”
