BJP names ex-NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma as Rajya Sabha candidate from Haryana :::: "It has come out in open that Rahul Gandhi, Sonia & George Soros are working together...", says Union Minister Pralhad Joshi

Rekha Sharma has faced strong criticism for some of her public statements. In October 2020, she met Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to discuss issues such as “Love Jihad,” a term often used by hardline groups to refer to interfaith marriages. However, the NCW had clarified that it did not maintain specific data on such complaints, leading to confusion over her stance.

That same month, Sharma faced backlash after she commented on the Noida police's handling of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi’s visit to Hathras. Sharma called the handling “unfortunate,” which led to both Congress and BJP supporters criticising her for her remarks.  

Sharma's time as the chairperson of NCW, a post she held from September 2017 to August 2024, was marked by numerous controversies. While she worked in the commission since 2015, it was during her leadership that allegations surfaced regarding her handling of women’s issues, particularly those in BJP-governed states. 

"It has come out in open that Rahul Gandhi, Sonia & George Soros are "working together...", says Union Minister Pralhad Joshi   

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi says, "Congres party is breaking every dignity and everything (protests) is happening on the directions of George Soros. The Congress party is being rejected throughout the nation...

The party with which the Congress party aligns also loses the elections...I condemn how Congress is insulting India and its institutions...It has now come out in the open that Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and George Soros are working together...". 

Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan says, "It has happened for the first time that the ruling party doesn't want the House to function. Today, unnecessary issues are raised by them in the House, because they don't want Adani issue to be raised in the parliament..."
