The Crime Branch is likely to take over the Parliament case enquiry of both the Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress’ complaints over Thursday’s scuffle which left two BJP MPs injured, according to the media reports.
This development comes following the BJP filed an FIR against the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi , accusing him of assault, incitement and an attempt to murder. Earlier, BJP leader Pratap Chandra Sarangi claimed that Rahul Gandhi pushed him during the confrontation.
“Sarangi said, “Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP who fell on me after which I fell down. I was standing near the stairs when Rahul Gandhi came and pushed an MP who then fell on me. “Following the showdown, the saffron party filed a police complaint against Rahul accusing him of assault, incitement and an attempt to murder. “We have filed a complaint with Delhi Police against Rahul Gandhi for assault and incitement. We have mentioned in detail the incident that happened today outside Makar Dwar, where NDA MPs were protesting peacefully. We have given a complaint under Sections 109, 115, 117, 125, 131 and 351. Section 109 is an attempt to murder, Section 117 is voluntary causing grievous hurt,” BJP MP Anurag Thakur told reporters.
Based on the BJP’s complaint, an FIR was registered by the Delhi Police. The case was lodged under Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) section 117 (voluntary causing grievous hurt), 125 (act of endangering life or personal safety of others), 131 (use of criminal force), 351 (criminal intimidation) and 3(5) (common intention) at the Parliament Street police station.
Union Minister and BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, “This is a black day in Parliamentary history. Decorum has been torn apart. Democracy has been shredded and sullied. There is no other example like that of the hooliganism of Rahul Gandhi and Congress party. Such conduct was never seen in the Parliamentary history of India. Why are they releasing their frustration in Parliament if they lost Haryana and Maharashtra ? A workshop should be called to train Rahul Gandhi and Congress people to understand the conduct in democracy. I am sad. Amit Shah ‘s speech exposed Congress. They are so frustrated with it that they have stooped to hooliganism now. We condemn this hooliganism”.
