A tumultuous clash unfolded in the Indian Parliament premises as opposition and NDA MPs went head-to-head over an alleged insult to B R Ambedkar. The altercation resulted in former minister Pratap Chandra Sarangi of the BJP suffering injuries, prompting accusations against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of aggressive behavior.
