New Delhi, Dec 20: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey has condemned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's behavior in Parliament, accusing him of pushing and misbehaving with BJP lawmakers during the ongoing Winter Session.
Dubey recounted witnessing the altercation, which he described as shocking.
"I saw Rahul Gandhi climbing up the Makar Dwar, so I and another leader saw this and we decided to give him space. After climbing up, he pushed Pratap Sarangi ji, Santosh Pandey ji who is next to us. Mukesh Rajput ji got pushed and all those who were standing there were pushed," Dubey said.
He further criticized the Congress party for what he called an "ugly face", adding, "For the first time, I saw the ugly face of this party. The way our MPs were pushed, misbehaved with and after that, they had no remorse, was condemnable."
Dubey's comments follow an earlier statement by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who also accused Gandhi of causing disruptions that led to injuries to BJP MPs.
Pratap Sarangi represents the Balasore Lok Sabha constituency of Odisha.
The controversy has sparked strong reactions across party lines and escalated tensions in Parliament.
