In a recent incident at the Parliament premises, there was a heated face-off between the opposition and NDA MPs over the alleged disrespect shown to B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution. The situation turned violent and BJP MPs Pratap Chandra Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput were injured, with the BJP accusing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of pushing Sarangi. However, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has dismissed these allegations as a "conspiracy to save Home Minister Amit Shah's skin."
According to Priyanka Gandhi, her brother Rahul was peacefully entering the Parliament with a photograph of BR Ambedkar and chanting the slogan "Jai Bhim." However, they were stopped and blocked by the ruling party MPs, who resorted to "goondagardi" (hooliganism) to prevent them from entering. She further added that this was the first time such an incident had occurred, as usually there is enough space for people to enter freely and peaceful protests are allowed from 10:30 am to 11 am daily.
Priyanka Gandhi also shared her firsthand account of the incident, stating that she witnessed senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge being pushed to the ground by BJP MPs, followed by a CPI MP falling on him. She expressed concern for Kharge's well-being and pointed out that a chair had to be brought for the 82-year-old leader, who had been injured in the scuffle. Priyanka Gandhi claimed that this was all part of a conspiracy by the BJP to cover up the insult to Ambedkar and protect Amit Shah.
According to her, the BJP's true intentions were revealed in Amit Shah's remarks, which showed their lack of respect for Ambedkar and their violent intentions. She challenged BJP MPs to stand in front of her and say "Jai Bhim," which they failed to do. She also refuted the BJP's claim that a passage was provided for the opposition MPs to enter the Parliament, stating that they were actually blocked by the ruling party.
In a strongly-worded statement on social media, Priyanka Gandhi condemned the BJP for repeatedly insulting Babasaheb Ambedkar, who gave the country its Constitution and fought for the rights of all citizens, especially Dalits and marginalized communities. She demanded an apology from the BJP for disrespecting the sentiments of crores of people.
The opposition parties, including Congress, TMC, DMK, RJD, Left parties, and Shiv Sena-UBT, have also joined in the criticism of Amit Shah's remarks and called for his resignation. This led to the adjournment of both Houses of Parliament and the BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had to come out in defense of Shah. However, Priyanka Gandhi remains firm in her stance and believes that the true colors of the BJP have been exposed through this incident.
