Congress on Friday, October 20, hit back at Union Minister Smriti Irani after she claimed that the Global Hunger Index makes their report by calling people and asking them if they are hungry. "There are indices which do not project the India story and deliberately so. For instance, Global Hunger Index, which many people say is hogwash. They make the index, here in India, by calling 3,000 people out of 140 crore people and asking them if they are hungry. That index is saying Pakistan is doing better than India, can you imagine?" Smriti Irani said. Congress leader Supriya Srinate slammed Irani, saying, "I don’t know what’s more shameful, your level of ignorance or your insensitivity at display here." Srinate also questioned Irani's knowledge of the matter.  "And please don’t make a mockery of hunger - you are an extremely powerful and entitled woman, a minister in the Government of India for heaven’s sake! There are enough and more meals available on the flights you board and the places you visit," Srinate posted on X, formerly Twitter. Amit Shah Claims BJP Built First IIT, IIM and AIIMS in India; Congress Accuses Home Minister of Lying, Shares Video,
