"Rahul was peacefully going inside Parliament while holding BR Ambedkar's photograph and chanting the 'Jai Bheem' slogan. Who stopped him from going to the Parliament? We have been protesting for so many days and there is always space left for those who are going inside and outside," she added.
“We didn't say anything. We kept chanting slogans for our constitution. If the people of this country think that these people are protecting the constitution, they should not remain confused since Amit Shah's language has exposed their reality. They can't even say Jai Bhim. I challenge them to say Jai Bhim here," Priyanka Gandhi further said.
She also accused the BJP MPs of pushing Congress chief and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge during protest. Reacting to the entire situation, she said that it was a conspiracy to save Amit Shah.
Today, they (BJP) protested for the first time and stopped everyone while resorting to pushing, shoving and hooliganism. This is a conspiracy hatched to save Amit Shah. They pushed Kharge as he fell on the floor before my eyes. After that, a CPI (M) MP was also pushed around and he fell on Kharge. We could see that he has been injured," Vadra said.
