The Congress social gathering and a few of their allies have been holding placards and protesting on the steps resulting in the Makar Dwar to go inside the home (for the previous couple of days),” the minister mentioned. “So when the Congress social gathering constantly tried to dam that specific gate and began to reveal within the stair space, the BJP MPs and NDA MPs additionally thought that it was befitting to face there and protest in opposition to the Congress social gathering’s misdeeds and all of the previous insults on Ambedkar and different unconstitutional actions of the Congress. So, when our social gathering MPs had been there, it appeared Rahul Gandhi and his folks forcibly tried to enter inside. So there Rahul Gandhi triggered damage to 2 of our MPs. I don’t know why Rahul Gandhi has acted on this explicit method.”

On the One Nation, One Election invoice

Does the Congress social gathering led by Rahul Gandhi imply that every little thing that was accomplished by governments then, until 1967, together with governments led by Jawaharlal Nehru, was unconstitutional? As a result of meeting and Lok Sabha elections had been held on the similar time. I’m certain that they are going to in the end need to bow right down to the strain and the desires of the folks,” Rijiju mentioned.
