Amethi: Kishori Lal Sharma, Congress leader and Member of Parliament (MP) from Amethi on Saturday, backed LoP Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's remarks on former Amethi MP and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Smriti Irani, in which he targeted the trollers using derogatory languages against her.
Sharma backed Gandhi's remarks and said that it is not their value to use such language against someone.
"Rahul Gandhi is right. I relate to his statement. Victories and losses are a part of life. It is not in our values to use such language against someone", the Amethi MP said.
Earlier on Friday, Gandhi came in defence of Irani, saying that humiliating and insulting people is a sign of weakness, not strength.
In a post on 'X', the Congress MP wrote, "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".
The BJP leader has been at the receiving end of trolls since her defeat in the Lok Sabha Polls. Recently trolls targeted the former Minister after she vacated her official bungalow in Delhi.
Irani was defeated by Congress leader and Gandhi family loyalist, Kishori Lal Sharma, with a margin of 1,67,196 votes from Uttar Pradesh's Amethi in the 2024 Lok Sabha Polls.
Sharma secured 5,39,228 votes while Irani garnered 3,72,032 votes.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Irani defeated Congress candidate Rahul Gandhi from Amethi- which had been a Congress bastion for several years. (with agency inputs)
