Priyanka Gandhi, one of the newest members of the Lok Sabha, made headlines this week for her choice of tote bags. On Monday, she attended the Lok Sabha carrying a bag with "Palestine" written on it, drawing criticism from BJP leaders. The following day, she appeared with another bag, this time highlighting the plight of minority communities in Bangladesh.
Days after the incident, BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi gifted Priyanka Gandhi a bag with "1984" written on it on Friday. A video of the exchange has since surfaced online.

"This is a symbol of the government's desperation. It is a false FIR. Rahul Gandhi cannot push anyone—I am his sister, I know this. Frankly, the country knows this too. The country is watching how desperate they have become because they don't want a discussion on Adani. The country will not tolerate the insult of Ambedkar ji," she said.
