New Delhi, Dec 20: Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Friday met BJP MP from Balasore Lok Sabha constituency of Odisha Pratap Sarangi at the RML Hospital in the national capital.
Sarangi was among the two BJP MPs who were injured during a scuffle in the parliament premises on December 19.
Speaking to mediapersons after meeting with the injured BJP MP, the Union Minister said that insulting democracy is in Congress's DNA.
"...It is in Congress's DNA to insult democracy... In 1975, Indira ji strangled democracy; today Rahul Gandhi is taking forward that legacy. These people who are full of arrogance don't consider anyone anything...The people of India will never tolerate this insult to democracy and Parliament... Rahul Gandhi is not capable of holding the post of the Leader of the Opposition," Chouhan said.
Notably, both the NDA and INDIA bloc MPs had staged a protest in Parliament premises when a scuffle broke out between the two sides, injuring two BJP MPs.
BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi alleged that he was injured after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pushed another MP, who then fell on him.
