Kiren Rijiju wrote on X: “If we had not stopped all BJP MPs and allowed the women MPs to confront Congress MPs, it would have led to very ugly scene."

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday shared visuals from inside the Lok Sabha on the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to deliver his speech, as he backed the complaint filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) women MPs with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. He alleged that the Congress MPs crossed parliamentary limits.

In a post on X, he wrote: “The Congress Party is proud of the most degrading behaviour by their MPs !! If we had not stopped all BJP MPs and allowed the Women MPs to confront Congress MPs, it would have led to very ugly scene. We have very high consideration, to protect the dignity & sanctity of the Parliament.

The session had to be adjourned just minutes before the speech on February 4 and Speaker Om Birla later said that he had advised the PM to skip the session as Opposition MPs were planning an attack on PM.

‘BJP MPs were very agitated’

Speaking to the reporters, Rijiju said, “The BJP MPs, especially the women MPs, have lodged a strong complaint to the Lok Sabha speaker against the behaviour of the Congress MPs. The Congress MPs crossed over to the Treasury side. They crossed the bench where the Prime Minister sits, and they went beyond towards the Treasury side, and they almost laid the siege of the entire area."

Rijiju said that BJP women MPs were “very agitated" by the conduct after Congress MPs crossed over to the Treasury side.

“We had to control our BJP NDA MPs. BJP women MPs were very agitated at this behaviour of the Congress MPs. We stopped our MPs from physical confrontation. Then these MPs went to the Speaker’s Chamber and threatened the Speaker. The BJP women MPs have lodged a complaint. Let us see how the Speaker takes action and the steps he takes forward," he said.

THE COMPLAINT

Earlier in the day, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) women MPs backed Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, while slamming the Opposition MPs for the alleged “unfortunate incident" of throwing papers at the Chair and entering the Well of the House during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address.

The BJP MPs wrote to Speaker Birla alleging that Opposition women MPs “surrounded the Prime Minister’s seat" and later aggressively approached the Speaker’s chamber on February 4.

They urged the Speaker to take “the strongest possible action" against the MPs involved in the alleged incident.

This came as a response to women MPs from Congress’s letter to Om Birla alleging that the ruling party forced him to make “false, baseless, and defamatory" claims against them.

On Thursday, Speaker Om Birla had said he had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to come to the House to prevent any unpleasant incident, as he had received information that some Congress MPs could come to the PM’s seat in the House and “resort to an unprecedented incident".
