A major political controversy erupted in Parliament after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that he was pushed and obstructed by members of the ruling party inside the Parliament premises. The incident occurred during a tense standoff between opposition and treasury bench lawmakers, further escalating the already charged atmosphere in the House.
Rahul Gandhi claimed that he was trying to enter the Parliament building when several MPs from the ruling alliance blocked his path and shoved him. He said the act was deliberate and aimed at preventing the opposition from raising its concerns inside the House. According to him, such behavior undermines democratic values and reflects intolerance towards dissent.
The government strongly denied the allegations. Union Home Minister Amit Shah dismissed the claims and accused Rahul Gandhi of misleading the nation. He stated that the opposition leader was not attacked and instead accused Congress MPs of violating parliamentary norms and creating disorder. Shah added that the government respects parliamentary traditions and would not resort to such conduct.
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anurag Thakur also rejected the allegations, saying the opposition was attempting to divert attention from its own actions. He accused Congress MPs of breaching security protocols and engaging in unruly behavior within the Parliament complex.
The incident led to sharp exchanges between both sides, with opposition parties demanding accountability and protection for elected representatives. The ruling party maintained that the opposition was politicising routine movement inside Parliament to gain sympathy.
The confrontation has further deepened the political divide and added to the series of disruptions that have affected parliamentary proceedings in recent sessions.
