Congress builds pressure as Smriti Irani refutes Goa bar allegations
India Today
Congress has started building pressure after Union Minister Smriti Irani refuted the allegations that an illegal bar is being run by her daughter in Goa.
A row has erupted over allegations of Union Minister Smriti Irani’s daughter running an 'illegal bar' in Goa. Congress leader Pawan Khera hit out at the Union Minister and posted an article in which Smriti Irani had said that she was proud of her daughter's restaurant.
Congress leader Pawan Khera tweeted -“Which Smriti Zubin Irani is lying? The one who on 14th April 2022 said she was proud of her daughter’s restaurant or the one who today says her daughter has nothing to do with the Silly Souls Bar & Cafe?”
Congress leader BV Srinivas shared a video on Twitter showing Smriti Irani’s daughter Zoish talking about a Goa restaurant. In the video, Zoish Irani can be heard saying that Goa is the tourist hub of India and one can find Goan cuisine at local restaurants, but international food is lagging here.
The Congress has been building pressure after Smriti Irani denied ownership of the restaurant in Goa.
Two days back, Silly Souls Cafe and Bar, which the Congress alleges is run by Union Minister Smriti Irani's daughter Zoshi, was served a show cause notice by the Goa excise commissioner Narayan Gad for rules violation.
The notice followed a complaint by an advocate, Aires Rodrigues, who claimed that the bar was issued a liquor license when it did not even have a restaurant license.
