The controversy erupted after Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi was seen carrying a handbag showing the word ‘Palestine’ on it and the image was posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed on Monday (December 16). The BJP strongly reacted to the development and called it ‘Muslim appeasement’.

One of the Internet users said Priyanka Gandhi shows her solidarity with Palestine by carrying a special bag symbolizing her support.

Another social media user said it was not in good taste to support an organisation like Hamas on ‘Vijay Diwas’, the day India under former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi defeated Pakistani forces in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). Priyanka Gandhi is granddaughter of Indira Gandhi.

Other users said that it would have been appropriate if Priyanka Gandhi has chosen an object that signified India’s triumph.
