BJP MP Hands Priyanka Gandhi Bag With ‘1984 Riots’ Text Post Palestine Handbag Row — WATCH

<p>Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Aparajita Sarangi on Friday handed a bag with “1984” written in red to Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, following the political tussle over Priyanka Gandhi&rsquo;s recent choice of handbags with messages in solidarity with Palestine and Bangladeshi minorities. &nbsp;</p>
<p>According to news agency PTI, the incident occurred in the Parliament corridor, where Sarangi, the BJP MP from Bhubaneswar, approached Priyanka and gave her the bag. “The bag had &lsquo;1984 riots&rsquo; written on it,” Sarangi stated, adding, “This is also an issue that the Congress leader should raise as she makes statements with her tote bags.” Priyanka accepted the bag and continued walking. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The gesture came after Priyanka, the first-time Congress MP from Wayanad, carried handbags to Parliament earlier this week, bearing messages supporting causes in Palestine and Bangladesh. On Monday, she was seen with a bag emblazoned with “Palestine,” and on Tuesday, she carried another cream-coloured handbag with the message, “Stand with minorities of Bangladesh.” Several Congress MPs were also seen holding similar bags, demanding justice for Hindus and Christians facing alleged atrocities in Bangladesh. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Addressing the Lok Sabha during the Zero Hour on Monday, Priyanka had raised the issue of attacks on minorities in Bangladesh. “This government should raise its voice against the atrocities committed against the Hindu and Christian minorities in Bangladesh. It should hold talks with them and take their support,” she said. Priyanka also mentioned the removal of a historic photograph from the Army’s headquarters, showing the surrender of the Pakistani Army to the Indian Army. &nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>BJP Slammed Priyanka Gandhi’s Palestine Bag As ‘Communal Virtue Signalling'</strong></h3>
<p>Criticism followed her display of the “Palestine” bag, with BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya accusing her of engaging in “communal virtue signalling” under the guise of addressing patriarchy. Malviya posted on X: “At the end of this Parliament session, observe a two-minute silence for everyone in the Congress who believed Priyanka Vadra was the solution. Sporting a bag in support of Palestine in Parliament is crass communal posturing. Make no mistake, Congress is the New Muslim League.” &nbsp;</p>
<p>Responding to the BJP’s remarks, Priyanka dismissed the criticisms. “Who’s going to decide what clothes I wear now? That is typical patriarchy that you decide what clothes women wear. I don&rsquo;t subscribe to that. I will wear what I want,” she asserted. &nbsp;</p>
