BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said Friday that he and another leader saw Rahul Gandhi ascending the Parliament gate and chose to give him space after he was seen “climbing up the Makar Dwar” at the Parliament during Thursday’s altercation, in which two BJP MPs suffered serious injuries.
“After climbing up, he pushed Pratap Sarangi ji, Santosh Pandey ji who is next to us. Mukesh Rajput ji got pushed and all those who were standing there were pushed. For the first time, I saw the ugly face of this party. The way our MPs were pushed, misbehaved, and after that, they had no remorse, was condemnable,” he added.
Earlier in the day, Dubey moved a breach of privilege notice against Gandhi to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, accusing the Congress MP of showing “criminally edited” Rajya Sabha speech of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Dubey said.”This time he (Gandhi) has surpassed all the limits of sensible behavior expected from the Leader of Opposition of Lok Sabha and thus committed the offence of ‘Breach of Parliamentary Privileges’ and ‘Contempt of the House’ which calls for exemplary punishment,”
He underlined that the punishment for the same could not be less than Gandhi’s immediate suspension from the House and its committees followed by a thorough probe by the Committee of Privileges.
This controversy came out when two BJP members, Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput, were gravely injured in a brutal altercation between the leaders of the INDIA group and the MPs of the ruling alliance during opposition rallies against Shah’s comments about Ambedkar.
