Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has described as "typical patriarchy" the BJP's protest against her over a bag with "Palestine" written on it. "Who is going to decide what clothes I wear now? Who is going to decide that? That's typical patriarchy that you decide what women wear also. I don't subscribe to that. I will wear what I want," she told the media after being asked about the bag that sparked a massive row in Parliament yesterday. “Who's going to decide the clothes I wear now, that's typical patriarchy”‼️A woman who wears her heart and her beliefs to her sleeves.

Holding up the bag, she said, "I have said many times what my beliefs are regarding this. If you look at my Twitter handle all my comments are over there."
The bag carried by the Wayanad MP to Parliament yesterday had Palestine written on it. It also featured a watermelon, a symbol of solidarity with Palestine. Ms Gandhi Vadra has been vocal against Israel's offensive against Palestine after the attacks by Hamas in October last year.
