Two days ago, a distressing video went viral where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, sister of Congress President Rahul Gandhi was seen smiling and watching over as children, coached by Congress, were abusing PM Modi. The children raised ‘chowkidar chor hai’ and ‘neem ka patta kadwa hai, Modi sa**a bh***a hai’ slogans. Today, Smriti Irani reacting to the viral video said cultured families should keep their children away from such a person (Priyanka Gandhi Vadra).

It is pertinent to note here that the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has written to the Election Commission (EC) regarding the video where Congress General Secretary and Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s sister Priyanka Gandhi is seen giggling and laughing as children abused PM Modi.
In its letter, the NCPCR stated that they are in receipt of a complaint which has a video video where children are actively participating in an election campaign. “The children can be seen making derogatory remarks and using abusive languages in the presence of Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi,” stated the letter. The commission mentioned that as per a letter issued dated January 20, 2017, it had asked the EC to “ensure that children are not involved for election purposes and also, had recommended to all national parties to not to use children for distribution of posters/pamphlets, participate in slogan shouting, rallies etc.”
