Calling BJP ‘misogynist’, Priyanka tells PM that women don’t believe his platitudes
The Congress on Thursday slammed the Narendra Modi Government for ‘leaving’ out former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from official Vijay Diwas celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, with party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra terming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as ‘misogynist’.
December 16 is celebrated as ‘Vijay Diwas’ to commemorate India’s victory over Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh as a separate nation.
Taking to twitter, Ms. Vadra said, “Our first and only woman Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, is being left out of the misogynist BJP Government’s Vijay Diwas celebrations. This, on the 50th anniversary of the day that she led India to victory and liberated Bangladesh.”
