Kiren Rijiju, Ravneet Bittu assaulted women MPs: TMC's big allegations, BJP reacts
PTC News Desk: Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee in a massive attack accused that two union ministers- Kiren Rijiju and Ravneet Singh Bittu have assaulted two women MPS of the party during the protest in parliament.
"As we were shouting slogans, Bittu and Kiren Rijiju came to assault two of our women MPs -- Shatabdi Roy and Mitali. They pushed the women MPs," Banerjee told reporters.
The opposition was protesting over three contentious bills seeking removal of the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers arrested on serious charges and kept in custody for 30 days. Trinamool has demanded that the ministers to step down.
"So over this bill Bittu will shove our MPs? Kiren Rijiju will push them? We can't take any more... Bittu is a minister. He should resign. They are assaulting women," he added.
"The BJP government wants to enjoy power and control without any accountability... This Bill has been brought to muzzle Opposition parties who are asking questions on behalf of the people," said Trinamool's Abhishek Banerjee.
Meanwhile, BJP has denied any wrongdoing. "Absolutely baseless claims by TMC that some MPs from treasury benches manhandled some female MPs," said party MP Sanjay Jaiswal.
