Two BJP MPs injured; FIR registered against Rahul Gandhi for causing grievous hurt, endangering life, and using criminal force; Congress women MPs file counter complaint accusing BJP MPs of “attacking” them
Ties between the Opposition and the Treasury benches hit rock bottom on Thursday (December 19, 2024), with each side accusing the other of physical assault during a protest outside Parliament over alleged insults to the architect of the Constitution, B.R. Ambedkar.
Ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) MPs and Opposition members of the INDIA bloc took out separate protest marches and faced off at the entry gate of the Parliament House, leading to jostling in which two BJP MPs were injured and required hospitalisation.
