Telangana Pradesh Mahila Congress activists on Friday burnt an effigy of Union Minister Smriti Irani for her objectionable comments against AICC president Sonia Gandhi.
Led by Mahila Congress chief Sunitha Rao, the party workers raised slogans against the Union Minister and tried to come out of Gandhi Bhavan, the party headquarters. A heavy posse of police personnel prevented them from moving out.
The Mahila Congress workers then set afire an effigy of the Union Minister. Ms. Sunitha Rao told reporters that the Union Minister had made remarks against Ms. Gandhi only to divert the issue of her daughter running a bar in Goa.
