Rahul Gandhi surrounded on a tweet, Smriti said Abdullah Deewane

Supreme Court’s decision to give permanent commission to women in the army, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tried to surround the government but he got himself surrounded. On Rahul Gandhi’s tweet, Union Minister Smriti Irani retorted and named him Abdullah Deewane. Smriti Irani wrote, ‘Abdullah Deewane at the venerable Begani wedding. It was PM Narendra Modi who spoke about the permanent commission of women in the army. Which ensured gender justice. Speak to the team before tweeting.

Earlier on Monday, the Supreme Court ordered a permanent commission to all women in the army. Rahul Gandhi had tweeted on this, ‘The government argued in the Supreme Court that women army officers are not eligible for command post or permanent service because they are inferior to men. By doing so, the government has insulted all Indian women. I congratulate the women of India for raising their voices and proving the BJP government wrong. ‘

Explain that the Delhi High Court had directed to give permanent commission to the women of the Indian Army in the year 2010 itself, but the then UPA government moved the Supreme Court against this decision.

Rahul Gandhi surrounded on his own statement

After Rahul Gandhi’s statement, lawyer and BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi, who fought the case of women military officers and Navdeep Singh, a senior advocate of the High Court, reminded Rahul Gandhi that the then UPA government had gone to court against the court’s decision and not BJP.

Meenakshi Lekhi Boli – Refresh the memory button

BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi lashed out at Rahul and said, please, please refresh your memory button. It was the Congress government that protested against the permanent commission of women in the army in 2010 before the Delhi High Court.

Navdeep Singh said that an appeal against the decision of the Delhi High Court granting this benefit to women officers was filed in 2010 when the present government was not in power. Therefore, I believe that such issues and judicial decisions should not be politicized.
