Priyanka makes a statement with 'Palestine' bag in Parliament, BJP takes a dig

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra turned heads in Parliament on Monday, arriving with a bag emblazoned with "Palestine" on it.  A photo of Priyanka Gandhi toting around the bag on Parliament premises was shared on social media by Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed. It also invited a snide dig from BJP leader Sambit Patra.

"The Gandhi family has always been carrying the bag of appeasement. The appeasement bag is the reason behind their rout in elections," Patra said during a press briefing. Gandhi's gesture comes days after she was seen sporting a black-and-white keffiyeh (a traditional Palestinian scarf) during a meeting with Palestine embassy charge d'affaires Abed Elrazeg Abu Jazer.
