The complaint was filed at Sansad Marg police station under penal provisions related to criminal intimidation, endangering human life due to negligence, voluntarily causing hurt, use of criminal force, including Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 109, 115, 117, 125, 131 and 351.
The incident, causing injury to BJP MPs, followed a heated confrontation on the Parliament premises during a protest by Opposition MPs alleging disrespect towards B.R. Ambedkar.
"Today, we have filed a complaint against Rahul Gandhi for assault and provocation where we have mentioned in detail the incident that happened today outside the Makar Dwar of Parliament House, where NDA MPs were protesting peacefully, and Rahul Gandhi pushed them and injured them, due to which two BJP MPs are hospitalised," Anurag Thakur said.
Calling it a "very unfortunate incident”, Thakur said the Congress and Rahul Gandhi have a habit of violating law, and “arrogant” Rahul Gandhi considers himself above the law.
Accusing Rahul Gandhi of irresponsible behaviour, Thakur said: "The Congress has repeatedly insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar. Congress and other allies have been protesting every day but when BJP MPs tried to hold a protest today, Rahul Gandhi and his MPs forcibly marched towards the protestors, injuring two of them.
"Mukesh Rajput fell on his head in that push, Pratap Chandra Sarangi was also injured on the head due to the action of Rahul Gandhi, who used force and did not follow the path suggested to him by security personnel to avoid a physical confrontation," Thakur said.
Soon after the incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inquired about the well-being of two BJP MPs injured during the commotion at the Parliament entrance.
PM Modi personally called up BJP MPs Sarangi and Rajput to inquire about their health after they sustained injuries. He also assured them of full support.
