BJP MP Pratap Sarangi Injured After Alleged 'Push' From Rahul Gandhi In Parliament Showdown

BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pushed him during protests outside Parliament, leading to a head injury. Sarangi claimed that while standing on the stairs, another MP was pushed by Gandhi and fell on him, causing him to fall as well. Sarangi was taken to the hospital after sustaining the injury. In response, Rahul Gandhi denied the allegations, stating that BJP MPs were trying to block his entry into Parliament. He claimed the altercation occurred as BJP MPs pushed and threatened him while he was attempting to enter. Gandhi downplayed the incident, saying they were not affected by the jostling and emphasized that Congress had the right to enter the Parliament. He also highlighted a broader issue, accusing the BJP of undermining the Constitution and disrespecting the memory of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The incident sparked fresh controversy amid ongoing protests between BJP and INDIA bloc MPs.
