On a noteworthy Monday, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra showcased her support and unity with Palestinians by carrying a distinct handbag labeled 'Palestine' into Parliament. As the General Secretary of Congress and representing Wayanad, Priyanka has consistently voiced opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza.
The handbag Priyanka Gandhi wielded bore the name 'Palestine', adorned with symbols reminiscent of Palestinian culture, notably the watermelon, which stands as an emblem of Palestinian solidarity. Imagery and emojis of sliced watermelon are frequently employed as tokens of unity with the Palestinian cause.
Sambit Patra's Striking Comment
Seizing upon Priyanka Gandhi's choice of a 'Palestine' bag, BJP Leader and MP Sambit Patra accused the Gandhi family of perpetually bearing the burden of appeasement, which he asserted is responsible for their electoral failures.
In recent engagements, New Delhi witnessed Palestinian Embassy delegate Abed Elrazeg Abu Jazar meeting Priyanka Gandhi to congratulate her on her recent electoral success in Wayanad. Notably, in June, Priyanka criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, condemning the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza as "genocidal."
