The Lok Sabha witnessed a dramatic confrontation during protests inside the House when Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders accused Congress MP Ravneet Singh Bittu of violently pushing their colleague Abu Taher. According to the TMC’s version, the incident occurred when opposition MPs were staging protests in the Well of the House, demanding attention to ongoing issues.

TMC’s Allegations

TMC leaders alleged that Abu Taher, who had been recovering after months of hospitalization, was standing at the edge of the Well of the House when Ravneet Singh Bittu allegedly “forcefully and violently” pushed him. The allegation has sparked strong criticism from the TMC, which termed the act “aggressive” and “unbecoming of a parliamentarian.”

Party leaders claimed that such behavior amounted to an attack on a physically fragile MP and questioned whether parliamentary spaces were safe for representatives recovering from health challenges.

Background on Abu Taher’s Condition

Abu Taher has been unwell for several months and was recently discharged after a prolonged stay in a hospital. His presence in the House, despite his health condition, was highlighted by TMC leaders as a sign of commitment to parliamentary duties. The alleged physical altercation has therefore drawn wider condemnation, as TMC leaders say it could have endangered his health further.

Political Reactions

The incident has triggered heated political reactions. TMC MPs demanded that the Speaker take note of the incident and hold Bittu accountable for what they called “misconduct.” They also sought assurances that such physical aggression would not be tolerated inside Parliament.

On the other side, Congress leaders have so far remained largely silent on the matter, neither confirming nor denying the incident. However, political observers note that such altercations could further strain opposition unity at a time when parties are attempting to present a united front against the ruling NDA.

Parliamentary Decorum in Question

The alleged incident comes at a time when questions are already being raised about the falling standards of parliamentary decorum. Disruptions, sloganeering, and heated confrontations have become frequent, but physical aggression inside the House is rare and often sparks nationwide outrage.

Experts say the issue underlines the urgent need for clear rules of conduct and accountability mechanisms to ensure that MPs maintain discipline while expressing dissent.

Larger Implications

The TMC’s claim may become a flashpoint in the coming days, as it combines political rivalry with personal safety concerns. Given Abu Taher’s health history, the alleged push may be framed not just as political aggression but as an act of endangerment.

If the matter escalates, it could lead to formal complaints, demands for an inquiry, and possibly even calls for action against Ravneet Singh Bittu within the Parliamentary Ethics Committee.

Conclusion

The Lok Sabha protest incident involving Ravneet Singh Bittu and Abu Taher has added yet another layer of tension to an already charged political atmosphere. While the truth of the allegations may need verification through parliamentary processes, the TMC has made it clear that it views the alleged physical push as a serious breach of conduct.

For now, the spotlight is on whether the Speaker of the Lok Sabha will intervene and how opposition unity will be affected by this confrontation.
