The opposition party’s attack came over a social media post by the BJP in which it posted a photograph from the INDIA bloc MPs’ protest in Parliament on Wednesday against Amit Shah’s remarks.

According to police, Anil dialled 112, an emergency service number, and claimed that he would shoot the chief minister on January 26. He also threatened the station in-charge of Izzatnagar police station and other officers, they said.

“This might be on your camera. I was trying to go inside through the Parliament entrance, but BJP MPs were trying to stop me, push me and threaten me. This has happened… Yes, this has happened (Mallikarjun Kharge being pushed),” Rahul Gandhi told reporters.
