Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singh alleged that the incident occurred close to Parliament’s gate, resulting in a bodily altercation between MPs from the ruling and the opposition bloc, was a deliberate conspiracy by BJP.

The Congress veteran, who attended a condolence assembly on the demise of former Madhya Pradesh House minister, Bharat Singh in Ratlam on Saturday, 21 December 2024, speaking to the media individuals stated, the opposition has at all times staged protests on the Parliament premises, but it surely was the primary time when ruling MPs blocked entry of the opposition members.

Second-time Rajya Sabha MP from Madhya Pradesh, Digvijaya Singh, who participated within the protest on 19 December at Parliament premises, stated the Opposition has the fitting to protest in opposition to the ‘wrongdoing’ of the federal government.

“Amit Shah’s remarks on Dr. B. R. Ambedkar are condemnable and the opposition is demanding an apology from him. He ought to apologise and resign from the put up on ethical floor, however he’s being shielded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chaos created by BJP MPs there was a deliberate step to divert consideration,” he added.

In the meantime, the Congress chief raised questions on the safety system on the new Parliament, stating that an unsightly altercation at Makar Gate might have been averted, had the safety officers taken immediate motion. “What the chief safety officer was doing,” Digvijaya Singh questioned.
