Congress and BJP clashed over which bag of Priyanka? Know what is the connection with Palestine

New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi reached Parliament, carrying a bag with ‘Palestine’ written on it. BJP leaders reacted sharply to this. he/she called it ‘cheap communal politics’. Priyanka Gandhi has already expressed her concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. he/she called Israel’s military action ‘cruel and inhumane’.

During this, he/she congratulated Priyanka Gandhi for her victory in the Lok Sabha by-election from Wayanad, Kerala. he/she condemned the ongoing Israeli military actions in Gaza during his/her meeting with the ambassador.

‘Why is Priyanka silent on the issues of Bangladeshi Hindus?’

BJP MP Anurag Thakur targeted Priyanka Gandhi and asked whether this bag was a statement? Why is he/she silent on the issues of Bangladeshi Hindus? This is a big question mark. he/she further said, ‘This is the Indian Parliament. Here MPs from across the country are elected to raise the concerns of 140 crore Indians. The opposition did not allow the House to function for two weeks. First Asaduddin Owaisi raised the slogan of ‘Jai Palestine’, and now Priyanka Gandhi has brought a Palestine bag to Parliament.

BJP accused of communal pretense

Meanwhile, BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya accused Priyanka of ‘communal posturing’ under the guise of her stance against patriarchy. he/she said, ‘At the end of this Parliament session, observe two minutes silence for all those in Congress who believed that Priyanka Vadra was the solution. Bringing a bag in support of Palestine to Parliament is bad communal politics. he/she further said that make no mistake, Congress is the new Muslim League.

Apart from this, BJP MP Ghulam Ali Khatana said that people do this for news. When people reject them, they resort to such acts.”

Priyanka Gandhi hit back

Priyanka Gandhi hit back at her critics, saying, ‘Tell them to do something about the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh, talk to the Bangladesh government, and not talk nonsense.’

She has raised her voice in support of Palestine before also

Earlier, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi had also posted on social media platform X in support of Palestine on New Year 2024. he/she had written, ‘As we celebrate the beginning of a new year and wish each other may love, peace, laughter and goodness fill our lives. Let us remember our brothers and sisters in Gaza who are facing the most unjust and inhumane attack on their right to life, dignity and freedom. While our children are celebrating, their children are being murdered mercilessly. The so-called leaders of the world watch silently and move ahead carelessly in their quest for power and greed. Yet there are millions of ordinary people who are raising their voices demanding an end to the terrible violence taking place in Gaza, and these millions of brave hearts bring us hope for a new tomorrow. Be one of them.’
