“The home minister insulted the constitution maker Dr Ambedkar. Delhi police will do whatever they will be asked by the Home Minister.”
He further added, that now as BJP filed FIR it is not against Rahul Gandhi but against Ambedkar.
Another CPI MP P Sandosh Kumar while backing Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP had filed a fake case.
The leader shared that the BJP have filed a fake case and said they were trying to do a peaceful protest after which BJP MP’s blocked the entrance which led to the scuffle.
“Many MPs including me were pushed down by BJP MPs. I fell and had slight injuries also, to distract attention from the burning issue of insulting Babasaheb Ambedkar, the BJP is coming with a new version that a woman was attacked by Rahul Gandhi.”
“This is completely baseless and we challenge the concerned authorities to make the video footage available in the public domain. We have an excellent CCTV camera system. Why can’t you publish it and let the public know the truth?,” he said.
The FIR was registered by Delhi police on Thursday in connection with a scuffle that took place in Parliament. Tensions erupted when members of the opposition and the ruling BJP-led NDA held separate protests, resulting in a face-off.
