In the midst of formal proceedings at the Parliament House, Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi found himself embroiled in a fresh controversy, all sparked by a single photograph.

The image, capturing a moment from a formal event attended by prominent political figures, including Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha Harivansh Narayan Singh, and Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal, among others, quickly circulated across social media platforms. However, it was not the collective presence of these political stalwarts that garnered attention but rather Gandhi’s attire and pose.

The photograph, shared on the social media account of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, depicted a scene following former Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s oath-taking ceremony as a member of the upper house of Parliament. However, netizens swiftly directed their focus towards Rahul Gandhi’s perceived casual attire and posture, questioning their appropriateness for the formal setting.

The online discourse surrounding the image soon transformed into a wave of criticism, with many expressing disapproval of Gandhi’s choice of attire and his relaxed stance for the camera. Comments flooded various social media platforms, highlighting what some perceived as a lack of decorum on Gandhi’s part during such a significant occasion.

Yet, amidst the torrent of criticism, voices emerged in defense of Gandhi, attributing the uproar to selective framing and interpretation. Some contended that the choice of photograph was deliberate, aimed at inciting criticism and portraying Gandhi in a negative light. They argued that a different perspective, such as a comparison to similar instances involving other political figures, could provide a more nuanced understanding of the situation.

In an attempt to contextualize the controversy, supporters of Gandhi shared an image from a previous event, where President Murmu bestowed the prestigious ‘Bharat Ratna’ upon Lal Krishna Advani, the former Deputy Prime Minister of India. This comparative analysis sought to underscore the subjective nature of perceptions surrounding attire and demeanor in formal settings.
