Crime Department probe in opposition to Rahul Gandhi: Congress cries foul over FIR

Following the scuffle in Parliament, the Delhi Police swiftly registered an FIR in opposition to Lok Sabha Chief of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi primarily based on a criticism filed by BJP MPs.

In stark distinction, the police — which experiences to Union residence minister Amit Shah — has delayed registering an FIR in opposition to the BJP leaders allegedly concerned within the incident. The Congress has accused the authorities of blatant double requirements, alleging selective enforcement of the legislation.

Their criticism stays unacknowledged, Congress leaders stated. The Opposition has denounced the disparity, terming it as one more instance of the ruling celebration’s misuse of energy and erosion of democratic accountability, emblematic of the BJP’s “fascist tendencies”.

Congress deputy chief within the Rajya Sabha Pramod Tiwari described the actions of BJP members as “terrorist-like”, accusing them of blocking Opposition MPs’ entry to Parliament and carrying sticks beneath the guise of banners. “That is unprecedented in parliamentary historical past,” Tiwari asserted, claiming that the BJP’s actions display a brazen disregard for democratic norms.
