Chaos erupted outside Parliament as BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of pushing MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi, causing minor injuries. Sarangi claimed Gandhi’s actions led to another MP falling on him, while Gandhi alleged Sarangi pushed him instead. BJP leaders labeled Gandhi’s actions as “gundagardi.” Parliamentary rules classify obstructing or assaulting MPs during official duties as a breach of privilege, but legal experts noted the absence of video evidence could weaken the case. The police may act only if permitted by the Lok Sabha Speaker. With conflicting testimonies, the matter may remain unresolved unless conclusive proof emerges.
