'Not His Nature': Omar Backs Rahul As BJP Accuses Him Of 'Showing Off Kung Fu Skills' In Parliament

As BJP accused Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi of pushing two BJP MPs in Parliament on Thursday, Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah came in Gandhi's support. Abdullah said it's not in Gandhi's nature to be rude or nasty.
"I know Rahul, he would not push anyone much less a member of parliament. It’s simply not in his nature to be rude or nasty to anyone," Omar said in a post on X.
BJP MPs Pratap Sarangi (69) from Odisha and Mukesh Rajput from Uttar Pradesh received head injuries and were taken to RML hospital from Parliament.
"Sarangi was bleeding profusely. He had a deep cut on his forehead and it had to be stitched. His blood pressure and anxiety level were high when he was brought in," the doctor said.
"Rajput also had a head injury immediately after which he lost consciousness. However, the MP was in his senses when he was brought to the hospital. His blood pressure levels had also shot up," he added.

"Rahul Gandhi's physical attack against the MPs is condemnable. It is a gross misuse of his anger, his frustration and the way Rahul Gandhi has treated the Parliament, shows that Rahul Gandhi doesn't believe in democracy. I want to tell Rahul Gandhi we will see what appropriate action we can take. But he must tender an apology to the nation that he has used his physical strength against other MPs," Rijiju added.
