Priyanka Gandhi’s ‘Bangladesh’ Bag In Parliament, Day After ‘Palestine’ Row

Tue Dec 17 05:39:52 UTC 2024: ## Congress Leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Again Uses Bag to Highlight Minority Rights

**NEW DELHI** – Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra once again used her handbag to make a political statement, this time focusing on the plight of religious minorities in Bangladesh. A day after her “Palestine” handbag sparked controversy in Parliament, Ms. Vadra arrived today with a new bag displaying the slogan “Stand with Bangladeshi Hindus and Christians.”

During today’s Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Ms. Vadra urged the government to address the issue of attacks on minorities in Bangladesh, specifically Hindus and Christians, following the recent political upheaval. She called for diplomatic engagement with Dhaka to ensure their safety. “The government should raise the issue of atrocities on minorities… We should discuss this with the Bangladesh government and support those who are in pain,” she stated.

This follows yesterday’s heated debate surrounding Ms. Vadra’s previous handbag, which featured the word “Palestine” and a watermelon, a symbol of Palestinian solidarity. The ruling BJP sharply criticized her choice of accessory. Ms. Vadra’s continued use of her handbag as a platform for political messaging is sure to continue generating debate.
