Rahul Gandhi Pushed BJP MPs, Made Woman MP Uncomfortable: What All Happened in the Parliament

What Happened in the Parliament? 

It was a dark day for Parliament as Congress MPs, led by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra, resorted to physical aggression at Makar Dwar. In a brazen display of arrogance, they attempted to force their way through the premises, recklessly shoving BJP MPs who stood in their path. The situation spiraled out of control, resulting in a disgraceful scuffle that saw BJP MP Pratap Sarangi collapse near the stairs, his head visibly bloodied. Another senior BJP MP Mukesh Rajput was also injured and the two MPs were admitted in the ICU.

Rahul Gandhi’s Sheer Arrogance 

A disturbing video has also surfaced showing Rahul Gandhi approaching Sarangi only after the incident, while BJP’s Nishikant Dubey confronted him, accusing him of instigating the violence. The Leader of Opposition (LoP), however, denied his involvement, attempting to shift the blame onto BJP MPs, claiming they were the ones who had provoked the altercation. The Congress MP made an attempt to defend his act of physical violence and then, turned his back on Sarangi and walked away.

BJP Woman MP’s Shocking Allegations 

Nagaland BJP MP Phangnon Konyak broke down in Parliament and accused the Leader of Opposition (LoP) of “behaving in a manner that made her uncomfortable” during the protest. “He misbehaved with me in a loud voice and his physical proximity to me was so close that I being a lady member felt extremely uncomfortable. I stepped aside with heavy heart and denounced my democratic rights but felt that no Member of Parliament should behave this way,” Konyak said in a letter to the Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar.

Is Rahul Gandhi Fit To Be Leader of Opposition?

Rahul Gandhi’s repeated misconduct raises serious questions about his eligibility to be the Leader of Opposition. From his infamous unsolicited hug to the Prime Minister to his mocking wink in Parliament, he has consistently shown a lack of respect for the dignity of the House. His flying kiss aimed at women members was not only inappropriate but deeply disrespectful. Adding to this is his violent behaviour during the Makar Dwar chaos, where he is accused of pushing elderly BJP MPs, including a woman parliamentarian, Nagaland’s Phangnon Konyak. Such actions display a troubling pattern of arrogance and disregard for parliamentary norms.
