New Delhi [India], December 20 : Congress Member of Parliament Pramod Tiwari alleged that the women MPs of the Congress were barred from entering the Parliament and pushed during the ruckus in Parliament on Thursday.
"BJP has been charged with their lack of trust in democracy or Constitution. The recent events suggest, particularly the parliament session, that the BJP-led Modi government is a living example of fascism," Tiwari told reporters here.
"...For the first time in the history of democracy, the BJP government did not allow the House to function for the first week," he alleged.
On the ruckus in Parliament, he said, "Parliament was gheraoed, Entry gate was blocked. Our women MPs who were moving in a single line were barred from entering the House and were stopped and pushed. Our 83-year-old, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and our Congress President (Mallikarjun Kharge) was pushed down".

Meanwhile, Several BJP MPs launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his alleged behaviour during a ruckus in Parliament on Friday, accusing the Leader of Opposition of "arrogance," "violating parliamentary rules," and a "shameful attitude" towards fellow MPs.
BJP MP Anurag Thakur condemned Gandhi's actions, saying, "The arrogance of Rahul Gandhi that was seen yesterday and his attitude towards his fellow MPs is very unfortunate. The way he created a ruckus by violating all the rules and instead of going on the designated path, he deliberately took his supporters along and created a ruckus... this is not forgivable. Can a leader of the opposition go with this thinking? When he (Rahul Gandhi) was taken to the injured, forget about asking about their well-being, forget about apologizing, arrogance was visible on his face... His (Rahul Gandhi's) statement was that pushing and shoving keeps happening. This makes it clear that his thinking is that you can do anything to anyone, and nothing is going to happen to us."
BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj also slammed Gandhi for ignoring repeated warnings from security forces.
She said, "The public representative is the biggest sentinel of democracy, but Rahul Gandhi and all the members of the INDIA alliance have forgotten this. Just by showing the Constitution, you do not become the protector of the Constitution. Yesterday, the security forces repeatedly urged Rahul Gandhi to take an alternate route. He (Rahul Gandhi) knew that a peaceful protest was going on, yet he deliberately and maliciously pushed and passed through the midst of all our MPs who were peacefully protesting there... Two of our colleagues have been seriously and deeply injured... Along with this, he should also apologise for the shameful attitude he adopted with our Nagaland MP Phangnon Konyak."
