Rahul Gandhi Responds to Allegations
Rahul Gandhi has denied the allegations, claiming he was being obstructed by BJP MPs while entering Parliament. 
 

Addressing the media, he said, This might be on your camera. I was trying to go inside through the Parliament entrance, BJP MPs were trying to stop me, push me and threaten me. So this happened...Yes, this has happened (Mallikarjun Kharge being pushed). But we do not get affected by jostling. But this is the entrance and we have the right to go in. BJP MPs were trying to stop us from going in...The central issue is that they are attacking the Constitution and insulting the memory of Ambedkar ji."
