Priyanka Gandhi's Parliament Accessories Stir Political Debate

The Congress MP's symbolic bags addressing Palestine and Bangladesh issues draw sharp reactions from BJP and ignite broader discussions on India's foreign policy and minority rights.

Priyanka Gandhi carried a bag with 'Palestine' written on it to Parliament, symbolizing solidarity with Palestinians and criticizing Israel's military actions in Gaza.
The move triggered backlash from BJP leaders, who accused her of communal posturing and prioritizing foreign issues over domestic concerns.
A day later, Priyanka Gandhi brought a bag highlighting the plight of minorities in Bangladesh, calling on the Indian government to engage diplomatically with Dhaka to protect Hindus and Christians.
The controversy has reignited debates over India's foreign policy, with BJP defending its stance on Israel-Palestine and Bangladesh while criticizing Gandhi's gestures as political theatrics.
India's official stance supports a two-state solution for Israel-Palestine and has provided humanitarian aid, while expressing concern over minority rights in Bangladesh following recent political upheaval.
