Priyanka Gandhi's Heartwarming Gesture with Disabled Woman at Parliament Gate Goes Viral
Priyanka Gandhi sits with physically challenged woman at Parliament gate for photos.
During the ongoing Winter Session, a physically challenged woman reached the Parliament complex hoping to meet Priyanka Gandhi but was stopped by security at the gate as per strict protocol. Spotting her from a distance in the porch area, Priyanka immediately walked over, sat down beside her on the ground, and happily posed for photographs. The 18-second clip, widely shared on X, shows the Congress leader smiling warmly and gently touching the woman’s shoulder in a gesture that has been hailed as “pure humanity.”
Netizens flooded the comments with praise: one user wrote, “She is genuinely more than a politician, a compassionate human being,” while senior journalist Supriya Bharadwaj called it “a heart-touching moment handled with grace.” Another admirer remarked that the act reflected “great leadership qualities,” and thousands of users shared the video with heart and folded-hands emojis. For many, the spontaneous interaction stood in stark contrast to the usual protests and soundbites that dominate Parliament’s entrance.
However, a section of critics dismissed it as meticulously staged PR. One user sneered, “Only people with limited IQ fall for Gandhi family drama,” while another wrote, “Instead of photo-ops, work for people—then maybe Congress wouldn’t be reduced to three states since 1985.” Several accounts accused the moment of being orchestrated, pointing out the convenient presence of multiple cameras capturing every angle. The polarised reactions have turned the short clip into a fierce ideological battleground on social media.

Regardless of the debate, the video has already crossed millions of views within hours, becoming one of the most shared political moments of the Winter Session. For Priyanka Gandhi’s supporters, it reinforces her image as the most accessible and empathetic member of India’s most famous political family. Whether genuine warmth or calculated optics, the Parliament porch encounter has once again proved that few leaders can generate both adoration and outrage quite like a Gandhi.
