‘Insulting people is a sign of weakness’: Rahul Gandhi defends Smriti Irani, asks people to stop being nasty.

Rahul Gandhi defends Smriti Irani:- Leader of Opposition and Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, in a rare move, defended BJP’s Smriti Irani and asked people to “stop being nasty” towards her. He said winning and losing is part of life and humiliating others is a sign of weakness.

“Winning and losing happen in life. I urge everyone to refrain from using derogatory language and being nasty towards Smt. Smriti Irani or any other leader for that matter. Humiliating and insulting people is a sign of weakness, not strength,” he said.

Supporters of Gandhi and the Congress called her a ‘humiliating defeat’ and called her out for celebrating Gandhi’s loss earlier. After it was decided that Gandhi’ would contest from Raebareli and not from Amethi, Irani said it is a matter of pride for her that an ordinary BJP worker sent him packing from the constituency.
