Hours after the BJP MPs reached Parliament Street police station, a delegation of women MPs of Congress along with senior party leaders Pramod Tiwari, Digvijya Singh and Imran Pratapgarhi also reached to file a complaint against the saffron party parliamentarians for allegedly pushing the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge.
Speaking to the media after filing the complaint, Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh said, “Making false allegations is the character of BJP and they are doing the same. BJP surrounded Makar Dwar and were carrying sticks during the protest and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, who recently underwent surgery, was pushed and got his knee injured.”
Meanwhile Pramod Tiwari said, “We have come here to file a complaint against how our 84-year-old, a Dalit leader Mallikarjun Kharge was pushed. The way Kharge was abused a day before yesterday and today he was pushed- this is all a conspiracy of BJP”.
