Priyanka Gandhi Sparks Dual Controversy: Carries ‘Palestine’ Bag in Parliament, Responds with ‘Stand with Hindus and Christians of Bangladesh’ Statement!
New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Congress MP from Wayanad, Priyanka Gandhi, on Monday sparked controversy by carrying a bag with "Palestine" written on it to Parliament. BJP MPs criticized her move, accusing her of indulging in appeasement politics. The incident even drew praise from Pakistan, further fueling BJP's attacks. Speculation arose that Priyanka Gandhi might face backlash for this gesture.
On Tuesday, Priyanka Gandhi countered the criticism with another bold move. This time, she arrived in Parliament carrying a bag that read, "Stand with Hindus and Christians of Bangladesh." Observers believe this was a strategic response by Priyanka Gandhi and the Congress to address BJP's allegations.
The BJP has consistently accused Congress of appeasing Muslims while remaining silent on atrocities against Hindus. Meanwhile, opposition MPs staged a protest outside Parliament on Tuesday, demanding the government take action against the persecution of Hindus and Christians in neighboring Bangladesh. Holding placards that read "Stand with Bangladesh's Hindus," the protesters raised slogans urging the government to address the issue and ensure justice for the affected communities.
