CJP's Saurav Das Slams Giriraj Singh Over Rahul Gandhi Photo
Two grown-ups who work in politics in India had a big argument.
One of them, Giriraj Singh, shared a picture on the internet of another politician, Rahul Gandhi, riding on a boat.
In the picture, Rahul Gandhi was with a woman, a child, and a person who looked like a diving teacher.
Mr. Singh asked Rahul Gandhi where the picture was taken and who was in it with him.
Then another person, Saurav Das, got upset and said Mr. Singh was being mean.
He said it was a 'cheap, gutter-level tactic' to snoop into someone's private life.
Mr. Das said Mr. Singh was trying to start trouble from guesses that were not proven.
He also said Mr. Singh's words were 'vile and pathetic.'
The argument happened on a website called X, where people share short messages.
Not everyone agrees - some think it is okay to ask leaders questions, and some think this was too personal.
The whole thing happened because of one boat picture.
BJP MP Giriraj Singh shared a photograph on X of Rahul Gandhi on a boat with a woman, a child, and a person who appeared to be a scuba-diving guide.
Singh asked Gandhi where and when the picture was taken and who the people accompanying him were.
CJP co-convenor Saurav Das slammed Singh, calling his post a 'cheap, gutter-level tactic.'
Das accused Singh of snooping into Gandhi's private life and creating controversy from unverified speculation.
Das called Singh's remarks 'vile and pathetic' and accused him of having a 'gutter mentality.'
