BJP calls Congress remarks on Pralhad Joshi misleading and condemnable
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on July 28, 2026, condemned remarks made by Congress MPs Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi regarding Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi. BJP media cell convenor Anil Baluni stated that Joshi had only commented on the legal process, not the Bilkis Bano case itself, and denied Joshi made any such statement. Priyanka Gandhi's remarks in the Lok Sabha were expunged by Speaker Om Birla. Rahul Gandhi, outside Parliament, referred to Joshi as 'filthy' over his reported comments on the release of Bilkis Bano's rapists. The exchange occurred during debate on the Public Examination (Amendment) Bill, 2026, which includes provisions against exam paper leaks. Baluni accused the Congress of distorting statements for political convenience and called the allegations baseless.
