Ahluwalia pushed me from behind: Rashid Alvi

Alvi said Ahluwalia resorted to the “uncultured” action after he alleged during the meeting of the Committee that the BJP member was leaking deliberations to the media before finalisation of the report.

A Congress member of Rajya Sabha from Andhra Pradesh,Alvi said he told the meeting that he had received a call on his mobile from a journalist who mistook him for Ahluwalia and sought his comments on the draft report. He said it was not proper for anyone to leak the draft reports.

The Congress member told reporters that he will bring the incident to the notice of BJP Parliamentary Party leader L K Advani but added he has “pardoned” Ahluwalia.

“It will be in his interest as also that of Parliament if he desists from such actions”,Alvi said adding he would also be bringing the incident to the attention of the Chairman,Rajya Sabha.
