Rajat Sharma, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of India TV.
What happened at the entrance of Parliament House has never happened before. Two MPs bled to death in the clash between Congress and BJP. The matter of fight between MPs reached the police station. A complaint of attempt to murder was filed against Rahul Gandhi. A complaint letter from Congress against BJP was given to the police. Complaints about fights in the Parliament complex have reached the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. The Lok Sabha Speaker has asked all parties and MPs not to protest at the main gate of Parliament. The proceedings of both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned indefinitely due to uproar on Friday.
Now a round of allegations and counter-allegations is going on. Of the two MPs who were injured, one suffered a head injury and the other fell unconscious. Both are in the hospital. BJP’s allegation is that Rahul Gandhi pushed elderly MP Pratap Sarangi and caused serious head injury, but Rahul Gandhi claims that he did not push anyone, BJP MPs pushed Mallikarjun Kharge. . Rahul Gandhi said that all this is a drama of BJP to divert attention from Adani issue. Priyanka Gandhi said that BJP people have done all this to divert attention from the issue of Amit Shah.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the injured MPs on phone and inquired about their well being. All the big leaders of BJP came to see the MPs in the hospital. Shivraj Singh Chauhan said that what Rahul Gandhi did is against the culture and traditions of India, such a person should not be on the post of leader, opposition. What happened in the Parliament House complex is unfortunate, the fight in Parliament reached the police station. This is shocking. Both sides have their own claims and videos, but some things are very clear. Rahul Gandhi entered Parliament from the door where BJP MPs were protesting, his blow caused two MPs to fall. Both are in the hospital. One of them was so badly injured that he had to get stitches on his head.
So the first question is whether it was necessary for Rahul Gandhi to go through this path? Security personnel say that they had made an alternative route but Rahul went through the BJP MPs. Rahul Gandhi is heard saying that BJP members pushed him. Congress said that Mallikarjun Kharge was also pushed. The question is why there is no video of Rahul?
The media persons present there told that media cameras are not allowed to reach that Makar Dwar. Now the question is whether the reason for the incident that happened was just a scuffle? Rahul said that Modi is trying to save Adani, this was part of this planning. Priyanka Gandhi said that this happened to save Amit Shah. Kharge said that this conspiracy was hatched to avoid debate on Baba Saheb.
All these arguments have their place. But it is true that two MPs were injured and bled. This is visible. How did this happen? who did it? Congress did not give any answer to this. It would have been better if Rahul Gandhi had gone to the elderly MP who was hurt, whose head was bleeding, apologized to him and taken him to the hospital. This would increase Rahul’s prestige. No one gets any chance to create controversy. But in today’s politics ego is big. No one believes that he made a mistake. If one files an FIR, the other will also file it. If one shows the video, the other will also show it.
The matter which could have been resolved by apologising, could have been resolved by going to the Lok Sabha Speaker, will now be investigated by the police. This is not a good tradition for parliamentary democracy. (Rajat Sharma)
