A group of BJP supporters in Odisha gathered near Raj Bhavan on Friday to protest against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The protest, led by BJP's state president Manmohan Samal, was in response to the recent scuffle on the Parliament premises that resulted in MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi getting injured. The youth wing leaders of the party also submitted a memorandum to Governor Raghubar Das, addressed to the President of India, demanding action against Gandhi for his alleged involvement in the incident, which they described as "hooliganism."
Expressing his condemnation of the incident, Samal stated that the entire country has also condemned this unfortunate event. He emphasized that this incident has caused harm to the image of modern Indian democracy, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary. He further added that the injury of Odisha MP Sarangi, who is currently receiving treatment in the ICU, is a direct attack not only on a representative of the people but also on the symbol of democracy, the Parliament.
The protest saw participation from several senior BJP leaders, including MLAs, who joined the cause against Gandhi's actions. In response, senior Congress leader Srikant Jena demanded an apology from Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his remarks that were deemed disrespectful towards Babasaheb Dr BR Ambedkar. This incident has caused tension between the two political parties and has sparked a debate on the conduct of leaders in the Parliament. The country continues to await the resolution of this matter.
