A series of protests took place in New Delhi on Monday. Members of team 26 I.N.D.I.A, led by Mallikarjun Kharge, and BJP MPs staged a protest against the Rajasthan government led by Gehlot. They accused the government of committing atrocities against Dalits and women in the state. As a result, the functioning of Lok Sabha was disrupted and the house had to be adjourned twice.
The MPs gathered in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue in Parliament premises, holding placards and shouting slogans against the Gehlot government. The BJP has been criticizing the Congress government in Rajasthan, claiming that the law and order situation in the state has completely deteriorated. They also accused Gehlot of prioritizing his position as Chief Minister above all else.
On Sunday, Union Minister Anurag Thakur highlighted the crimes against women in non-BJP ruled states, including Rajasthan and Manipur. He emphasized that it is the responsibility of state governments to reduce such atrocities. Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat also expressed concerns about the situation in Rajasthan, stating that criminals are being released from jails at gunpoint, causing fear among the people.
The upcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan are expected to focus on issues of law and order.
