New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday advised his followers to stop using derogatory language against former Union Minister Smriti Irani.

“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 in a post on X.

Gandhi's remarks come amid the social media responses against the BJP leader after she vacated her official bungalow. Irani had vacated her official bungalow 28 Tughlak Crescent in Lutyens' Delhi earlier this week after she was defeated by Congress leader Kishori Lal Sharma from Amethi parliamentary seat with a margin of over 1.5 lakh votes. The former women and child development minister was dubbed a giant slayer in 2019 after she defeated Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the seat.
