Smriti Irani responds to Congress's attacks regarding the Goa bar and challenges Rahul Gandhi.

Accusing her daughter of running a restaurant bar in Goa “ illegally ”, with the licence bagged “ fraudulently ” in the name of a deceased person, the Congress Saturday demanded abdication of Union minister Smriti Irani. Calling it a “ vicious ” blameworthiness, Irani hit back, saying that her son, Zoish, was the target only because “ her mom does press conferences against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi ”.

“ The allegation that my daughter runs an illegal bar is vicious with the intent not only to bump off her character but also to politically defame me, ” Irani said.
She added “ And to the Gandhi family, which directed that this press conference( by Congress) be held against my child, I tell you this, send Rahul Gandhi back to fight the Lok Sabha election in 2024 from Amethi and he'll lose again. That's my pledge as a BJP worker and as a mother to that 18- time-old. I'll see them in the court of law. ”
Addressing the media in Delhi, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera said “ In Goa, a eatery run by her son, it has a bar it is indicted of earning a licence fraudulently. The licence is in the name of a person who failed in May 2021 and was carried in June( 2022). In the name of that person, Smriti Irani’s son took the licence. ”
Goa Excise Commissioner Narayan M Gad had issued a show- cause notice to Silly Souls Café and Bar on July 21 grounded on a complaint filed by counsel Aires Rodrigues, who contended that the café ’s liquor licence was renewed in the name of one Anthony Dgama — his death instrument, issued by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, was adjoined to Rodrigues’s complaint.

Gad had sought a reply from the eatery in seven days.

In Panaji, state Congress principal Amit Patkar addressed the media and showed a videotape clip of a purported show in which Irani’s son was canvassed as a “ youthful entrepreneur ”, and Silly Souls introduced as “ her eatery. ”

Nagra said that Irani’s son “ has no control or oversight into the operation and affairs of the café and her limited commerce at the installation was only while doing an externship program with the cook of Silly Souls Café. ”

In Delhi, Irani said, “ An 18- time-old child, a council pupil, her character moment was assassinated by Assemblywomen. They claim that the mutilations stemmed from a show cause notice. I want to ask that Congressperson where is the name of my son in the papers that he flashed? ”

She also said “ It's done at the directions, as was obviously stated by Pawan Khera, of the Congress leadership, videlicet the Gandhi family, because I had the audacity to hold a press conference to question Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for the( Rs),000 crore spoil of the Indian storeroom( in the public herald case ’. So the gentlemen who sat there, chortled as they assassinated my son’s character, I'll see you in the court of law and in the court of the people ”
