What's covered under the Article:
- FIR filed against Rahul Gandhi for alleged physical assault on BJP MPs during a Parliament protest.
- BJP MPs claim injuries and discomfort due to Gandhi’s aggressive behavior, especially MP Phangnon Konyak.
- The Congress party contests the allegations, calling them exaggerated and misrepresented.
An FIR has been filed against Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, following allegations of physical assault on several BJP MPs during a protest at Parliament. The controversy erupted after the BJP MPs accused Gandhi of aggressively interacting with them, which allegedly led to injuries and discomfort. BJP MP Phangnon Konyak from Nagaland was particularly vocal in claiming that Gandhi's actions and proximity during the protest made her feel threatened. She and other BJP MPs described Gandhi’s demeanor as aggressive, contributing to their physical distress.
While the BJP has strongly condemned Gandhi’s actions and highlighted the ordeal faced by its MPs, the Congress party has vehemently contested these accusations. Congress leaders argue that the claims are exaggerated and misrepresented, suggesting that the BJP is attempting to politicize the issue to damage Rahul Gandhi's reputation. The party maintained that the protest was peaceful and that no such assault took place.
The FIR has sparked political tensions, with both sides accusing each other of playing political games. Gandhi’s actions during protests have often been the subject of debate, and this incident has only added fuel to the ongoing political rivalry between the Congress and BJP.
