Speaking to the media outside the police station, Thakur stated that the complaint had been filed under several sections of the Indian Penal Code, including Section 109 (attempt to murder), Section 117 (voluntary causing grievous hurt), Section 125, Section 131, and Section 351.

The BJP alleged that Rahul Gandhi pushed 69-year-old BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi during a protest by NDA MPs outside Makar Dwar. The party claimed that Sarangi, along with another BJP MP, sustained injuries and were both admitted to the ICU at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital with head injuries.
Congress’ counter FIR
In response, Congress MPs filed a counter-complaint, alleging a conspiracy behind the incident. Congress MP Pramod Tiwari stated, “The way a Dalit leader was abused the day before yesterday and today he was pushed—this is all a conspiracy.”
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, accused BJP MPs of lowering the dignity of Parliament. “After insulting Baba Saheb Dr Ambedkar ji, Narendra Modi also gets the dignity of Parliament insulted. BJP MPs were armed with placards with thick sticks and were made to push and shove to stop the peaceful protest of I.N.D.I Alliance MPs so that their animosity towards Babasaheb, Parliament, Constitution, and democracy is not exposed,” Kharge said.
BJP’s accusations
BJP MPs shared a video of the incident, calling Rahul Gandhi “arrogant.” Union Minister Bhupender Yadav posted on X, “Look at the arrogance of the Gandhi scion. Instead of apologizing for injuring aged BJP MP Shri Pratap Sarangi, Rahul Gandhi walks away with accusations. So much for being mohabbat ki dukan. Such entitlement! Congress continues to be a blot on democracy.”
Congress, in return, shared a counter video claiming BJP MPs with sticks in hand were preventing Opposition MPs from entering Parliament. Kharge also wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, describing how he lost his balance and was forced to sit down on the ground in front of Makar Dwar, resulting in knee injuries.

Funny when so many court cases are pending against Pappu, adding another one is of no use when existing ones do not see any logical conclusion in the past 30 years.
Waste of time & testing citizens patience by Indian courts & BJP itself is not interested in final closure of the cases…..NOT sure if BJP has given any promise similar to King Porus to girl friend of Alexander of Greece in keeping the cases alive till eternity
