Three National Democratic Alliance MPs, including Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj, have filed a police complaint against leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of being involved in “physical assault and incitement” during a scuffle at Parliament, an officer said.
Thakur and Swaraj, accompanied by a Telugu Desam Party MP, met the officers at the Parliament Street Police Station and gave a written complaint.
“We have filed a complaint against Mr Rahul Gandhi for physical assault and incitement,” Thakur told media, outside the police station as reported by PTI .
Earlier in the day, a face-off at the Parliament entry steps between the opposition and NDA MPs in Parliament premises over the alleged insult to B R Ambedkar left former minister Pratap Chandra Sarangi injured.
The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of pushing the senior member, a charge rejected by the Congress leader.
Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said BJP MP Mukesh Rajput was also injured in the melee.
