‘Stop using derogatory language against Smriti Irani’ Rahul Gandhi urges everyone on X
New Delhi: Weeks after the Lok Sabha election results were announced, Leader of Opposition and Raebareli MP Rahul Gandhi has called for respectful discourse towards former Union minister Smriti Irani and other political leaders.
In a post on social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “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.” He further added, “Humiliating and insulting people is a sign of weakness, not strength.”
The appeal for civility comes after Irani's defeat in the Amethi constituency, a result declared on June 4. Irani lost to veteran Congress worker and first-time candidate Kishori Lal Sharma by a margin of 1.6 lakh votes.
Following her loss, Irani expressed her gratitude to BJP party workers and supporters in a press conference. She said, “I express my gratitude to all the BJP party workers and supporters, those who have worked in the service of the constituency and the party with utmost dedication and fidelity…Today, I am grateful to PM Narendra Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath that their governments have completed the pending works of 30 years in just 5 years. I congratulate those who win. I will continue to be in the service of the people of Amethi.”
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi secured a significant victory in Raebareli, a Congress stronghold, winning by a majority of 4 lakh votes. His message on social media emphasizes the need for respectful political dialogue, regardless of electoral outcomes.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
