A major political controversy erupted in Parliament after the Trinamool Congress accused Union minister Kiren Rijiju and BJP MP Ravneet Bittu of assaulting its women MPs.

According to TMC leaders, the alleged incident took place during a heated exchange inside the House. Party MPs claimed that their female colleagues were manhandled when they tried to protest against the government on various issues.

The TMC has demanded strong action and sought an apology from the ruling party leaders, calling the incident an insult to women members of Parliament. The party also said it would raise the matter formally with the Speaker.

Meanwhile, BJP leaders dismissed the allegations as baseless and politically motivated. They argued that the opposition was trying to create unnecessary drama to divert attention from important debates in the House.

The episode has triggered sharp reactions from across the political spectrum, with calls for a fair investigation to establish what exactly happened.
