Crime Branch to Probe BJP’s FIR Against Rahul Gandhi Over Parliament Scuffle; Congress Demands Footage Release
New Delhi, December 21, 2024 – The Crime Branch has been tasked with investigating an FIR filed by the BJP against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi following an alleged scuffle in Parliament. The BJP has also issued a notice against Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, accusing them of instigating the incident.
The controversy stems from a heated exchange during a parliamentary session, which reportedly escalated into a physical altercation. While BJP leaders have condemned the incident as a breach of parliamentary decorum, Congress has hit back, calling the allegations politically motivated.
Congress has further demanded the immediate release of CCTV footage from Parliament to bring transparency to the matter. “Let the nation see what truly happened. We demand that the scuffle footage be made public,” a Congress spokesperson said, alleging that the BJP was using the incident to divert attention from pressing national issues.
The Crime Branch’s investigation is expected to delve into the sequence of events leading up to the scuffle and identify any violations of parliamentary rules. As tensions between the two major political parties intensify, the incident has sparked a larger debate about the conduct and decorum expected in the nation’s highest legislative body.
The coming days are likely to see both parties doubling down on their narratives, with the potential release of the footage set to play a critical role in shaping public opinion.
