On Wednesday (1 November 2023) during a news debate, Congress Spokesperson Supriya Shrinate made derogatory comments about BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala’s mother. It must be noted that Shehzad Poonawala is the brother of Tehseen Poonawala who is an ardent Congress supporter and is often seen spiritedly defending the grand old party of India.
Both Shehzad and Tehseen had lost their father at a young age and their mother Yasmeen had raised them under trying circumstances and during the news broadcast on Zee News, Supriya Shrinate who is now known for her confrontational attitude said “tum apni maa ke naam ko vidrup karne wale log ho”, which means, “You are the people who defame your mother’s name“.
Today Supriya Srinate crossed all limits

She made derogatory comments on my single mother- senior lady in particular & mothers of all BJP karyakartas by saying “tum apni maa ke naam ko vidrup karne wale log ho”
My mother’s name is YASMEEN. Yes she gave birth to me – Pasmanda… pic.twitter.com/twwfu2P5JF
On his official X handle (formally Twitter), Shehzad Poonawala said, “My mother’s name is YASMEEN. Yes she gave birth to me – Pasmanda Muslim who joined BJP- does it mean such double meaning & dirty comments will be made about her? Why bring in anybody’s mother at all?”
Shehzed is not someone to hold back and is known for articulating BJP’s policy and decisions. He said, “When I called her out for disrespecting my mother who raised me single-handedly – she started using vile language saying “2 kaudi ka””. The term 2 kaudi ka basically means a person who is not worth anything and is very unparliamentary language to be used during a debate.
It has been observed that the Congress party is only sending spokespersons who are rude, confrontational, and not averse to making personal attacks on opponents. Gone are the days when Congress spokespersons would use skillful language to have a spirited debate and now it is all about attacking people at a personal level.
Supriya Shrinate comes from a political family and is the daughter of former MP Harsh Vardhan. She contested the 2019 Indian general election (Lok Sabha election) from Maharajganj constituency and lost badly to BJP’s Pankaj Chaudhary.
In 2019, Shrinate was appointed as the spokesperson of the All India Congress Committee and she also participated in UP Assembly Elections 2022 as star campaigner of Indian National Congress. It must be noted that Congress won just 2% of the popular vote in that election. In 2022, Supriya Shrinate was appointed as Chairman of Social Media and digital Platforms.
