Nagaland MP alleges Rahul ‘misbehaved’ with her

NEW DELHI, Dec 19: BJP MP from Nagaland S Phangnon Konyak on Thursday alleged in the Rajya Sabha that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi came in her “close proximity” and shouted at her during a protest outside the Parliament’s Makar Dwar which made her feel “extremely uncomfortable”.
“My dignity and self-esteem have been deeply hurt by LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi ji,” she said in a communication to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar who said he would look into it.
The BJP cited Konyak’s allegation and injuries to its two other MPs as it alleged that Gandhi pushed and shoved its members and indulged in “indecent” conduct during the incident, even as the Congress rejected the charges and Gandhi said that it was the ruling party MPs who “stopped, threatened and intimidated” him.
Several NDA MPs criticised Gandhi for his “misbehaviour” and sought action against him. (PTI)
