In a dramatic escalation of political tensions, the Congress and BJP clashed once more on Friday with dueling protests outside Parliament. Union Minister Giriraj Singh took aim at Rahul Gandhi, branding him the 'biggest liar' in Indian politics. Singh accused Gandhi of causing chaos and deflecting attention from serious issues.
The controversy followed a scuffle on November 19, when the Delhi Police filed an FIR. The violent altercation has sparked outrage, with Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge claiming to have been pushed and two BJP members injured during the incident. The standoff between the opposition and ruling factions reflects deepening political strife.
Reacting to the incident, BJP MP Arun Govil lamented the negative impact on Parliament's image, emphasizing the need for discipline and calm among leaders. Meanwhile, BJP MP CP Joshi condemned the clash as an insult to democracy, accusing the Congress of undermining the Indian constitution. The political unrest continues to reverberate, prompting concerns across the nation.
