Perhaps when responding to the allegations, lok sabha leader of Opposition Rahul gandhi said, “BJP mp pushed me and threatened me while I was trying to enter Parliament. They were stopping me." He added, “Nothing happens with pushing and shoving."

Meanwhile gandhi told reporters “This might be on your camera. I was trying to go inside through the parliament entrance, but bjp MPs were trying to stop me, push me, and threaten me. This has happened. Yes, this has happened (Mallikarjun Kharge being pushed). But we do not get affected by jostling. But this is the entrance and we have the right to go in. bjp MPs were trying to stop us from going in". gandhi said the central issue is that they are attacking the Constitution and insulting the memory of Ambedkar.

Furthermore the leader of the Opposition in the rajya sabha and congress President mallikarjun Kharge has written to lok sabha Speaker om birla stating that he was physically pushed by the bjp MPs at the Makar Dwar and sustained an injury on his knees. He has urged the speaker to inquire about the incident. The development comes as the ruling bjp MPs were protesting on the Parliament’s premises amid the ongoing winter session against the congress party for “insulting" Babasaheb Ambedkar. The incident has affected proceedings in both Houses. The issue snowballed into a major political controversy with the congress seeking the resignation of amit shah and prime minister Narendra Modi and other bjp leaders attacking the opposition party.
