Chairperson of Delhi State Haj Committee and BJP leader, Kausar Jahan criticised the Congress over a scuffle that broke out on Thursday in the Parliament premises saying that the Congress party has now resorted to hooliganism.
Accusing Congress of insulting Dr BR Ambedkar since India's independence, Jahan said, "Since independence, Congress has insulted Dr BR Ambedkar. Congress party has now resorted to hooliganism." Jahan alleged Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi pushed a BJP MP and a woman MP. "Rahul Gandhi today pushed a BJP MP and a woman MP. Seeing all this behaviour, Ambedkar's soul must be cursing him for this conduct. They talk about respecting Ambedkar but Dr BR Ambedkar had to leave the cabinet because of them. They did not allow his memorial to be built... BJP has strengthened Ambedkar's reservation," she said. Meanwhile, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday accused Rahul Gandhi of behaving like a 'goon' and intentionally causing a disruption during the BJP MPs' protest at Makar Dwar of Parliament leading to a scuffle between the ruling alliance and the opposition. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters, Chouhan also criticized Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi following their press conference, claiming that their actions showed a lack of accountability and respect. "Congress President Kharge and Rahul Gandhi held a press conference here just a while ago. We were expecting him to seek forgiveness for the actions they committed in Parliament, but instead, their arrogance was on full display. Today, my mind is upset and heavy with pain. I have been a member of both the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha many times, and I have seen the conduct and behaviour of the MPs and MLAs. What I saw in the Parliament today was unimaginable -- behaviour full of arrogance and hooliganism," Chouhan said. He further said, "MPs from any party have the right to protest on any issue. Congress has also been staging protests for the past few days. While they were protesting at Makar Dwar, we (the ruling alliance) used to enter the Parliament from the other entry. However, today when BJP MPs were protesting in Makar Dwar, Rahul Gandhi deliberately tried entering from the gate where the BJP MPs were protesting, even after security intervention," said Chouhan.
