Authors of a new development also put forward that Congress said the FIR against Rahul Gandhi is a deliberate diversionary tactic from his protest against the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah. The alleged invaluable FIR has also been referred to by the Congress as an effort to take away some issues from those that Gandhi has raised.

A Background to the Incident

The tussle sparked when Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, fiercely opposed Amit Shah’s remarks on B.R. Ambedkar. During a stormy session in Parliament, a scuffle broke out between BJP and Congress members, which resulted in cross-complaints. Following this incident, Delhi Police filed an FIR against Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of physical assault and incitement.

Congress’s Stand

Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal took to social media to state that the FIR against Rahul Gandhi is nothing but a diversionary tactic: Every case involving Gandhi related to his defense of Ambedkar’s legacy adds to that “badge of honour,” and the BJP is guilty of practicing political vendetta by this intimidation.

Venugopal also questioned the actions of the Delhi Police, pointing out that the complaints made by women MPs of Congress against BJP leaders for conducting physical assault were not acted upon. He went further to say that the FIR against Gandhi is just an attempt to silence dissent, divert attention from the real issues, and fail to solidify any case against Gandhi.

The Allegations

The FIR charges against Rahul Gandhi include serious offenses voluntarily causing grievous hurt, i.e. endangering life or personal safety, use of criminal force, and criminal intimidation. The complaint was lodged by BJP MP Hemang Joshi, besides his party other leaders Anurag Thakur and Bansuri Swaraj with charges over incitement and physical assault during the altercation in Parliament.

Political Reactions

However, the matter was so spicy that both parties indulged in the other with accusations. Congress leaders came out in favor of Rahul Gandhi, saying that the FIR is politically motivated to divert people from his work on Ambedkar’s legacy. While BJP leaders justified the claim FIR saying that the proposition of Gandhi was untoward and should warrant legal action.

Conclusion

Therefore, the FIR against Rahul Gandhi adds yet another twist to the increasingly charged political atmosphere that prevails over India. The Congress party thus holds firmly to its stance that the FIR is yet another diversion by the ruling party from the issues that Gandhi has put forth. The incident, however, reflects political tensions that are deeply embedded and often divinely struggling to take over the narrative between the Congress and BJP.
