Chandigarh, Dec 19: Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) National General Secretary Tarun Chugh strongly condemned the unruly and violent behavior of Congress MPs in Parliament today, calling it a disgraceful attack on democracy and constitutional values. He said that instead of engaging in constructive debate, Congress chose the path of aggression, physical confrontation, and hooliganism—actions that are a complete betrayal of parliamentary ethics.
Chugh said, “Today, the entire nation witnessed how Congress MPs abandoned debate and embraced violence in the sacred Parliament of India. This is not just a one-day incident; it is a reflection of Congress’s old habit of running away from accountability. When faced with the truth, Congress resorts to chaos, not conversation.”
He further accused Congress of hiding its anti-Constitutional past. Chugh said, “This is the same Congress that once snatched away the fundamental rights of the people during the Emergency, misused Article 356 over 90 times to topple elected state governments, and opposed OBC reservations. Their conduct in Parliament today is a continuation of their long history of undermining constitutional values.”
Chugh highlighted Congress’s anti-Ambedkar legacy, stating that Congress consistently sidelined and disrespected Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution. He pointed out that Congress deliberately worked to defeat Dr. Ambedkar in the 1952 and 1954 elections, denied him the respect he deserved, and took 40 long years to award him the Bharat Ratna, despite conferring it on their own leaders, such as Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, while they were still in power.
Chugh said, “Congress claims to be a protector of the Constitution, but their record tells a different story. They tried to erase Dr. Ambedkar’s legacy, manipulated the Constitution for their own political gain, and disregarded the values of equality and social justice that Ambedkar stood for.”
Chugh also slammed Congress’s attempts to mislead the public through distorted videos and false narratives. Referring to the recent selective clipping of Amit Shah’s speech in Parliament, Chugh accused Congress of deliberately spreading misinformation to create confusion. “When they can’t win the argument, they twist the facts. This is Congress’s classic strategy,” he said.
He further remarked that violence in Parliament and the distortion of facts are just two sides of the same coin. “Today’s violence and past conspiracies prove that Congress has no respect for parliamentary norms, truth, or the Constitution. Their only aim is to disrupt the system and mislead the public,” Chugh added.
Chugh concluded by stating that “BJP is committed to protecting Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of democracy, social justice, and equality. While Congress seeks to divide the nation and erode constitutional values, BJP remains steadfast in its goal of creating an inclusive, fair, and just India.”
