"Why is Congress leadership silent": BJP's Shazia Ilmi on Supriya Shrinate "Objectionable Post" on Kangana

Mar 25, 2024

New Delhi [India], March 25 : In the midst of the controversy surrounding Congress' Supriya Shrinate regarding an alleged post concerning Kangana Ranaut, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shazia Ilmi said on Monday that despite Shrinate's denial and claim that her account had been hacked, derogatory remarks are frequently observed on Congress' social media platforms.
In a video posted by her, Shazia questioned why the Congress leadership has not taken action to suspend Supriya Shrinate despite the allegations.
"Even though Supriya Shrinate is denying the allegations saying her account had been hacked, if we look at the social media handles of Congress, they make all sorts of derogatory remarks, post deep fake videos and share objectionable posts. Why are Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi quiet about it? Why have they not suspended Supriya Shrinate from the party?" she said.
"A few years ago, Azam Khan had said many objectionable things about Jaya Prada. No Samajwadi Party leader raised their voice against this. Even Jaya Bachchan did not say anything about this," she added.
Meanwhile, Supriya Shrinate provided clarification regarding the "objectionable post," attributing it to a parody account on X.
"Many people have access to my Facebook and Instagram accounts. Someone from them made an extremely inappropriate post today. As soon as I came to know, I deleted that post. Everyone who knows me, also knows very well that I can never make personal and indecent comments towards any woman. I wanted to know how this happened, she said.
"I came to know that my name is being misused on Twitter and a parody account is being operated, named Supriyaparody. They made this objectionable post. Someone copied it from there and posted it on my Instagram and Facebook accounts. I am trying to know who has done this from those who have access. I have also reported this parody account to Twitter," Supriya added.
