Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her support for Palestine by carrying a bag prominently featuring the word “Palestine” during her appearance in Parliament on December 16, 2024. The gesture gained attention after Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed shared a photo on X, commending Priyanka’s commitment to justice and humanity.

A video of Priyanka carrying the bag also went viral, further emphasizing her stance on the issue. This act of solidarity follows her recent meeting with Palestine Embassy’s chargé d’affaires, Abed Elrazeg Abu Jazer, who presented her with a photo depicting a historic conversation between Indira Gandhi and Yaser Arafat. Priyanka had earlier condemned the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, voicing strong opposition to the large-scale loss of life.

Her symbolic gesture, coupled with her statements and recent diplomatic engagement, highlights her continued support for the Palestinian people’s struggle for statehood and adherence to international laws such as the Geneva Convention.
