As protests continue in the premises of Parliament over remarks on 'Ambedkar', BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi claimed that he was injured as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP, who fell on him.
Reportedly, the Balasore MP has been rushed to Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital after sustaining injuries. Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Pralhad Joshi rushed to RML to meet Sarangi, added reports.
"Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP who fell on me after which I fell down...I was standing near the stairs when Rahul Gandhi came and pushed an MP who then fell on me," Sarangi said.
Responding to the allegation, Rahul Gandhi said the incident may have occurred as there was intense jostling at the entrance of the Parliament.
"This might be on your camera. I was trying to go inside through the Parliament entrance, BJP MPs were trying to stop me, push me and threaten me. So this happened...Yes, this has happened (Mallikarjun Kharge being pushed)," said Gandhi in reaction.
He further added that the Congress do not get affected by jostling. "But this is the entrance and we have the right to go in. BJP MPs were trying to stop us from going in...The central issue is that they are attacking the Constitution and insulting the memory of Ambedkar ji," added Rahul.
