Mukesh Rajput, representing Farrukhabad constituency in Lok Sabha, was admitted to the ICU at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. While his condition is stable, concerns about the safety of MPs in Parliament are mounting.
Rahul Gandhi’s Role in the Incident
The violence escalated when Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi reportedly pushed a BJP MP. According to BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi, who was injured in the scuffle, Gandhi’s push caused another MP to fall on him, leading to Sarangi’s fall on the stairs. Sarangi, aged 69, sustained a head injury and was seen bleeding from the left side of his head.

In a video circulating online, Gandhi was seen walking past the injured Sarangi without offering assistance. This apparent disregard for a fellow parliamentarian’s condition has drawn sharp criticism from BJP leaders.

“Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP who then fell on me. I was standing near the stairs, and I fell down,” Sarangi stated while being taken for medical attention. “This level of behavior is unacceptable in the Parliament of the largest democracy in the world.”
Protests Amid Accusations
The I.N.D.I.Alliance protests centered on allegations that Home Minister Amit Shah had “insulted” Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. However, BJP leaders countered, accusing the Congress of misleading the nation and having a history of disrespecting Ambedkar.
Amid these claims, the scuffle escalated, leaving the parliamentary environment tense and chaotic. BJP MPs condemned the violent actions, calling them a serious threat to parliamentary decorum.
Rising Concerns Over Rahul Gandhi’s Conduct
Rahul Gandhi’s role in the incident has sparked questions about his temperament and ability to lead. Critics argue that such actions raise doubts about his suitability for higher office.

“If such arrogance is displayed now, one shudders to think what might happen if Rahul Gandhi holds more power. Leadership demands responsibility, not aggression,” a senior BJP leader remarked.
A Moment of Reflection for Indian Democracy
The violence in Parliament underscores the need for accountability and decorum among political leaders. As India continues its journey as a vibrant democracy, incidents like these highlight the importance of measured conduct and respect for parliamentary norms. The nation will be watching closely as this matter unfolds, with expectations of justice and responsibility from the parties involved.
