Sarangi, an MP from Odisha, alleged that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi pushed him. Congress, on the other hand, claimed that BJP MPs pushed Mallikarjun Kharge and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra at the Makar Dwar of Parliament.

"Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP who fell on me after which I fell down...I was standing near the stairs when Rahul Gandhi came and pushed an MP who then fell on me," Sarangi said.

Kharge Writes To Lok Sabha Speaker

In a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker, Kharge claimed he was pushed by BJP MPs. Kharge said he lost his balance and was forced to sit on the ground, injuring his knees that have undergone surgery.

He sought an inquiry into the incident, claiming it was not just an attack on him personally, but on the leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress president.

Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha have been adjourned following noisy protests by the Opposition seeking an apology from Home Minister Amit Shah for his remarks on B R Ambedkar.

The INDIA bloc members first staged a protest at B R Ambedkar's statue in Parliament premises, carrying posters that read 'Main Bhi Ambedkar', 'Jai Bhim' and 'Amit Shah maafi maango'.

They then took out a protest march on the Parliament premises. MPs of the Congress, DMK, RJD, SP, the Left and NCP(SP), among others, participated in the protest.
