NEW DELHI: Congress MPs led by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra held a protest on the Parliament premises on Tuesday, demanding justice for Hindus and Christians facing atrocities in Bangladesh.
Before the start of proceedings, the MPs gathered at the parliament entrance carrying handbags with slogans – ‘Stand with minorities of Bangladesh’ and ‘Bangladesh ke Hindu aur Isaiyon ke saath khade ho’ (stand with the Hindus and Christians of Bangladesh). They also raised slogans pleading with the govt to ensure justice for minorities in the neighbouring country.
Priyanka too held a cream coloured bag with a plea for justice for Hindus and Christians, a day after she raised the Bangladesh issue in the zero hour of Lok Sabha, while carrying a bag with ‘Palestine’ emblazoned on it. A similar protest for Bangladesh was held in Parliament on Monday too.
Yogi targets Priyanka over ‘Palestine’ bag
UP CM Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday took a veiled jibe at Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for carrying a bag to Parliament that had ‘Palestine’ emblazoned on it. “Yesterday, a Congress leader was seen walking around Parliament carrying a Palestinian bag, while we are sending our youth to Israel for opportunities. So far, more than 5,600 youth from Uttar Pradesh have gone to Israel for construction work. Every youth gets free food and accommodation besides a monthly salary of Rs 1.5 lakh there. There is also full guarantee of safety,” Adityanath said on the second day of the winter session of UP assembly.
