The BJP alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tried to push a police woman when she, along with others in her team, was trying to remove one of the women protesters from the opposition INDIA bloc sit-in here on Wednesday.
There was no immediate reaction from the Congress to the BJP’s charge.
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari posted on X a video clip of the scene and attacked the Congress leader, saying, “In his eagerness to make a reel, Rahul Gandhi attempts to push a female police personnel. The surprise announcement of holding the protest at Jantar Mantar came after a solidarity lunch hosted by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. The members of Parliament soon after boarded buses, with some of them climbing the roof carrying the tricolour, as the procession crawled from Janpath to Jantar Mantar, bringing the high security area to a halt for the second day. MPs of the Congress, TMC, CPI(M), CPI, RJD, IUML and some other parties were among the protesters, while Samajwadi Party MPs were not present.
