Jaipur, Dec 19 (PTI) Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday alleged that the BJP MPs stopped the leaders of opposition and other MPs of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha from entering Parliament and condemned the incident.

Gehlot said Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla should investigate the incident "as soon as possible" and take action against the guilty BJP MPs.

In a post on X in Hindi, the Congress leader said, "Today, the ruling party BJP MPs stopped the leader of opposition and other MPs of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha from entering Parliament and tried to hurt them by pushing them, which is highly condemnable. This is the first time that MPs of one party are stopping the MPs of another party from entering the House. MPs have always entered the House with respect."

He said it is surprising that the security personnel of Parliament did not intervene during this time and alleged it seems it was a conspiracy of the BJP to divert attention from the issue of insult of Babasaheb Ambedkar by Home Minister Amit Shah.

"It is the responsibility of the Lok Sabha Speaker to ensure that all MPs enter the House with respect. The Lok Sabha Speaker should investigate this incident as soon as possible and take action against the guilty BJP MPs," Gehlot said.
