New Delhi: Prime Minister Modi on Thursday called the Bharatiya Janata party MPs Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput to inquire about their health who had sustained head injuries after an alleged scuffle between opposition and ruling parties in parliament.
The controversy comes after Rahul Gandhi LoP allegedly pushed an MP which he claimed had not been allowed by the MP from entering parliament.
The incident witnessed protests from both NDA and INDIA bloc in parliament premises, after a scuffle broke out between two sides, resulting in injuries to two BJP MPs.
Both the MPs were admitted to Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
Medical Superintendent Ajay Shukla said that both of the leaders suffered head injuries and have been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
He also said that the tests will be done. Symptomatic treatment has begun. Since both of them suffered head injuries, they were admitted to the ICU.
“Pratap Sarangi was experiencing heavy bleeding and he had suffered a deep cut. So, he had to be stitched up. His evaluation is in progress.”
Regarding the health of the other MP, he said, “Mukesh Rajput had fallen unconscious. Right now, he is conscious but he is dizzy and anxious. His BP had shot up.”
The LoP Rahul Gandhi, in his defence said that he was trying to get inside the Parliament when he was also pushed and threatened by the BJP MPs who were protesting near the entrance. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge has also alleged the BJP MPs for pushing him.
He added, “But we do not get affected by jostling. But this is the entrance and we have the right to go in. BJP MPs were trying to stop us from going in…”
Congress MP KC Venugopal accused the BJP MPs of preventing Congress leaders from entering Parliament.
