NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has filed a complaint against Rahul Gandhi, the opposition leader in the Lok Sabha, alleging assault and misbehaviour. The complaint, filed at the Parliament Street Police Station, accuses Gandhi of attempting to murder BJP MPs and speaking insultingly to a woman member. According to Union Minister Anurag Thakur, two Lok Sabha members sustained injuries due to Gandhi's actions, with one of them in serious condition. Union Minister Kiran Rijiju went further, alleging that Gandhi behaved like a "goon" in the House.
The complaint was filed under sections 109, 115, 117, 121, 125, and 351, with the BJP alleging that Gandhi was responsible for the disruptions in Parliament today. It was Phangnon Konyak, a BJP MP from Nagaland, who came up against Rahul Gandhi. She alleged that Rahul Gandhi misbehaved with her by standing too close and causing discomfort during the simultaneous protests by the BJP and the Congress outside the Parliament on Thursday.
Konyak alleged that Rahul behaved in a way that hurt the dignity of women. Meanwhile, Rahul's sister and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi hit back at the BJP saying that the ruling party and its MPs were raising baseless allegations to deliberately insult Rahul Gandhi.
