Parliament session LIVE: Rajya Sabha, Lok Sabha adjourned sine die

An FIR was registered against Rahul Gandhi on Thursday in connection with the scuffle that broke out in the Parliament.

Parliament session LIVE: High-voltage drama was witnessed in the Parliament as the scuffle between ruling alliance and opposition's members on Thursday led to a blame-game over who pushed who, with two BJP MPs being injured and Mallikarjun Kharge claiming that he was physically pushed by MPs of the saffron party in the House.

Meanwhile, an FIR was registered against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in connection with the scuffle at the Parliament where the two BJP MPs were injured. The Congress on Friday, however, claimed that the FIR was nothing but "a diversionary tactic" in response to his stern opposition to Union home minister Amit Shah's recent remarks on BR Ambedkar.

Both NDA and opposition group's MPs on Thursday held demonstrations in the Parliament premises over the controversy surrounding Shah's remarks on Ambedkar. While opposition is demanding an apology and resignation from Shah, the ruling side's leaders are saying that it was the grand old party that insulted Ambedkar in the first place.

Lok Sabha convened for the final day of the winter session at 11 am, following which Speaker Om Birla adjourned the House sine die.

Rajya Sabha conducted the remaining bits of its business, in relation with the ‘One Nation One Election’ JPC and adjourned sine die at 12 pm.

Parliament winter session | Key points

• Tussle between the opposition and the ruling NDA group began after Union home minister Amit Shah delivered a fierce reply on the Constitution debate in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
• Amid demonstrations in the Parliament, a scuffle broke out and resulted in two BJP MPs being severely injured.
• As this high-voltage drama took place, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that he was physically pushed by members of the BJP and sought an inquiry into the incident.
• Owing to these incidents, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla issued strict orders and banned demonstrations by MPs and political parties at any of the Parliament gates.
• Meanwhile, the BJP filed a police complaint against Rahul Gandhi and accused him of "physical assault and incitement". Soon after this, an FIR was registered against the Lok Sabha LoP in connection with the scuffle at the Parliament that injured two BJP MPs.
• A case under Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) section 117 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), 125 (act of endangering life or personal safety of others), 131 (use of criminal force), 351 (criminal intimidation), and 3(5) (common intention) was registered against Gandhi.
• The Congress, however, has termed this case as nothing but "a diversionary tactic" in response to Gandhi's strong opposition to Amit Shah's Ambedkar remarks. The party in fact said the case for defending Babasaheb's legacy was a "badge of honour".
