Parliament scuffle: PM Modi calls up injured BJP MPs enquiring about their health

Kathmandu: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called Bharatiya Janata Party MPs Pratap Sarangi and Mukesh Rajput to inquire about their health, after they sustained head injuries in parliament premises after an alleged scuffle between the opposition and ruling alliance.

This comes amidst the controversy of Rahul Gandhi allegedly pushing an MP while he claimed that he had been blocked from entering the Parliament and being allegedly pushed himself. Both the NDA and INDIA bloc MPs  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 hurt after getting a push from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Sarangi claimed that he was standing on stairs when another member of Parliament fell on him, leading to an injury on his head.

The BJP MP was rushed for treatment in an ambulance. Both the MPs were admitted to Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Medical Superintendent Ajay Shukla said that both of the leaders suffered head injuries and have been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Reacting to the allegations, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, in his defense, said that he was trying to get inside the Parliament when he was also pushed and threatened by the BJP MPs who were protesting near the entrance. He also alleged that Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge was also pushed.
