"Posturing, Not Advocacy": Smriti Irani Slams Rahul Gandhi's FIR Sit-In

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Smriti Irani has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of using issues related to paramilitary forces for political advantage. In an interview with NDTV, Irani asserted that Gandhi's actions were mere "posturing, not advocacy." She claimed he was exploiting sensitive matters while official investigations were underway, disregarding their integrity.

Irani specifically criticized Gandhi's "FIR sit-in," suggesting it was a tactic to gain political mileage rather than a genuine effort to address the concerns of paramilitary personnel. She emphasized that his approach undermined the ongoing official processes and investigations.
