'Rahul Gandhi Misbehaved With Me, Felt Extremely Uncomfortable': BJP Woman MP Phangnon Konyak's Massive Allegation, Seeks Protection From RS Chairman

BJP Rajya Sabha MP S Phangnon Konyak on Thursday wrote to the Chairman Rajya Sabha Jagdeep Dhankhar alleging misbehaviour by Congress MP and LoP Rahul Gandhi with her. "My dignity and self-esteem has been deeply hurt by LoP Rahul Gandhi," she writes in the letter to Chairman Rajya Sabha.

Speaking to the media about the incident, Phangnon Konyak said, "LoP Rahul Gandhi came close... I did not like it, and he started shouting. Whatever happened today is very unfortunate; this should not happen. We did not appreciate the way they threatened us... I have also lodged a complaint with the Chairman."

In the letter to Rajya Sabha chairman, she said, "I was standing just below the staircase of Makar Dwaar with a placard in my hand. The Security Personnel had cordoned and created a passage to the entrance right for the moment of Hon'ble MP's of other parties. Suddenly, Leader of Opposition, Shri Rahul Gandhi Ji along-with other Party Members came in front of me despite there being a passage created for them. He misbehaved with me in a loud voice and his physical proximity to me was so close that I being a lady member felt extremely uncomfortable. I stepped aside with heavy heart and denouncing my democratic rights but felt that no Member of Parliament should behave this way."

"I belong to the ST community of Nagaland and I am a lady member. My dignity and self-esteem has been deeply hurt by LoP, Shri Rahul Gandhi ji. Therefore, Hon'ble Chairman sir, I seek your protection," she added.
