Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday slammed Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi for carrying Palestine written bag in the parliament yesterday, saying Uttar Pradesh have sent around 5600 unemployed youths to Israel who have been provided free food, accommodation and a salary of 1.5 lakhs of salary.
“A Congress leader was roaming around in the Parliament carrying a bag with Palestine written on it, while we are sending the youth of Uttar Pradesh to Israel. More than 5600 youth of UP have gone to Israel for construction work so far. Every youth is getting free accommodation and food, a salary of Rs 1.5 lakh per month and complete security is also guaranteed,” Yogi said in parliament.
A row erupted on Monday when Priyanka Gandhi was seen carrying the bag during a Parliament session. The bag had “Palestine” written on it and several emblems embedded in it, including a watermelon, a symbol which is often associated with Palestinian solidarity.
Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday slammed BJP remarks on her carrying a bag with “Palestine” written on it, terming them “useless things.”
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that the BJP-led central government should take some steps regarding the atrocities happening in Bangladesh, against minorities and Hindus.
“The atrocities happening in Bangladesh, against minorities and Hindus…something should be done regarding this. Talks should be held with the Bangladesh govt regarding this…and they should not say such useless things” Vadra told reporters.
Since October 2023, Israel-Palestine has been engaged in an ongoing conflict after Hamas attacked Israel and captured its citizens.
