Mallikarjun Kharge, while speaking at a press conference at the AICC Headquarters, said that the BJP MPs blocked the Congress MPs from entering the Parliament. "They pushed me, I lost my balance and sat down," Kharge said at the presser.
BJP wants to divert attention from Shah's remarks on Ambedkar that's why they are raising other issues, Kharge said, adding that the Congress will run a nationwide movement on Ambedkar issue.
Speaking on the police complaint, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said that during party's protest march in the Parliament premise, BJP leaders created ruckus and pushed Kharge, who fell and injured his knees.
The Congress leader added that the party has filed a police complaint against BJP leader and added that the ruckus in the parliament was to distract people from Home Minister Shah's "insulting remarks" made against Amdebkar.
"It was decided that we will stage a protest march from the statue of BR Ambedkar to Makar Dwar of Parliament but BJP leaders gathered at the Makar Dwar creating ruckus. In this pushing and shoving, our party president Mallikarjun Kharge fell and both of his knees were injured. Today we have come to lodge a complaint against that... All of this was a drama to distract people from the insulting remarks made against Ambedkar," Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said.
