Amid ongoing face-off between the BJP and Opposition Congress after two saffron party MPs suffered injuries in Parliament premises during the protest over the alleged insult to B R Ambedkar, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Nagaland MP S Phangnon Konyak has alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi misbehaved with her.
Konyak, who is Rajya Sabha MP, has written to the Chairman of the House alleging misbehaviour by the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha.
In a letter to RS Chairman, a copy of which was shared by the ANI, Konyak said that while participating in a peaceful protest against the atrocities committed by the Congress Party against Baba Sahib Ambedkar and added, “My dignity and self-esteem has been deeply hurt by LoP Rahul Gandhi,” she writes in the letter to Chairman Rajya Sabha. I was standing just below the staircase of Makar Dwaar with a placard in my hand. The Security Personnel had cordoned and created a passage to the entrance right for the moment of Hon’ble MP’s of other parties. Suddenly, Leader of Opposition, Shri Rahul Gandhi Ji along-with other Party Members came in front of me despite there being a passage created for them.”
She futher stated, “He misbehaved with me in a loud voice and his physical proximity to me was so close that I being a lady member felt extremely uncomfortable. I stepped aside with heavy heart and denouncing my democratic rights but felt that no Member of Parliament should behave this way.”
Further stating that she belong to the ST community of Nagaland, the MP said, “I am a lady member. My dignity and self-esteem has been deeply hurt by LoP, Shri Rahul Gandhi ji. Therefore, Hon’ble Chairman sir, I seek your protection.
Earlier in the day, Rajya Sabha proceedings were disrupted due to protests by the treasury benches, who started sloganeering to demand action against the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi.
