NEW DELHI, (IANS): Former Union Minister and BJP MP Anurag Thakur, along with fellow
MPs Bansuri Swaraj and Hemang Joshi, on Thursday submitted an attempt to murder
police complaint against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for allegedly
pushing and injuring BJP MPs on the Parliament premises.
The complaint was filed at Sansad Marg police station
under penal provisions related to criminal intimidation, endangering human life
due to negligence, voluntarily causing hurt, use of criminal force, including
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 109, 115, 117, 125, 131 and 351.
The incident, causing injury to BJP MPs, followed a
heated confrontation on the Parliament premises during a protest by Opposition
MPs alleging disrespect towards B.R. Ambedkar.
"Today, we have filed a complaint against Rahul
Gandhi for assault and provocation where we have mentioned in detail the
incident that happened today outside the Makar Dwar of Parliament House, where
NDA MPs were protesting peacefully, and Rahul Gandhi pushed them and injured
them, due to which two BJP MPs are hospitalised," Anurag Thakur said.
Calling it a "very unfortunate incident”, Thakur
said the Congress and Rahul Gandhi have a habit of violating law, and
“arrogant” Rahul Gandhi considers himself above the law.
Accusing Rahul Gandhi of irresponsible behaviour, Thakur
said: "The Congress has repeatedly insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar. Congress
and other allies have been protesting every day but when BJP MPs tried to hold
a protest today, Rahul Gandhi and his MPs forcibly marched towards the
protestors, injuring two of them.
"Mukesh Rajput fell on his head in that push, Pratap
Chandra Sarangi was also injured on the head due to the action of Rahul Gandhi,
who used force and did not follow the path suggested to him by security
personnel to avoid a physical confrontation," Thakur said.
Soon after the incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
inquired about the well-being of two BJP MPs injured during the commotion at
the Parliament entrance.
PM Modi personally called up BJP MPs Sarangi and Rajput
to inquire about their health after they sustained injuries. He also assured
them of full support.
