Priyanka Gandhi Carries Bag With ‘Palestine’ Written On It To Parliament

Newly-elected Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday carried a bag to Parliament that had "Palestine" written on it, drawing a sharp reaction from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Ms Gandhi Vadra, who is attending her maiden Parliament session after her recent election victory from Kerala's Wayanad, has been raising her voice against the Israeli military's actions in Gaza since the war broke out in October last year.

She had earlier also slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over what she said were the Israel government's "genocidal actions" in Gaza.
