The entire polit⛄ical chaos stemmed from the war of words in connection with Union Home M🐲inister Amit Shah's controversial "Ambedkar is the fashion" remark.
Several MP🥀s of the INDIA bloc, including Congress leaders Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, st♍aged a protest in Parliament premises on Wednesday demanding Home Minister Amit Shah's apology for his remarks which they claimed were an insult to B R Ambedkar.
According to the Parli🅠amentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, two BJP MPs - Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput - were "seriously injured" by Rahul Gandhi while Congress party supremo Mallikarjun Kharge said his knees had been hurt in the protests.
Both Sarangi and Rajput were taken to the Ram Manohar Lohꦑia (RML) Hospital aft🍨er getting injured when the protesting INDIA bloc and the BJP MPs came face to face in front of Makar Dwar in Parliament.
A delegation of Congress MPs, incl♎uding Digvijaya Singh, Mukul Wasnik, Rajiv Shukla and Pramod Tiwari, filed the complaint visiting the station in person.
On Friday, police have sought legal advice on registering a separate FIR in response to a complaint filed by the Congress, accusing BJP MPs of misbehaving with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge on the Parliament premises.
"We are taking legal opinion if the Congress leaders' complaint can be converted into the FIR," another police officer said, adding that a deciꦬsion on this will be taken soon.
