NEW DELHI: Union Minister Smriti Irani said that she will approach the court against the Congress for levelling baseless allegations against her daughter. Smriti Irani was responding to the allegation raised by the Congress that her daughter Zoish Irani was running an illegal bar in Goa. The Congress had stated that a show cause notice was given to the bar run by Zoish Irani and that the BJP had initiated action against the official who gave the notice.

Smriti said that she will approach the court against those who tried to assassinate her daughter's character and will expose them to the people's court. She said that her daughter was targeted because of her mother's vocal stand on Sonia and Rahul Gandhi's ''Rs 5,000-crore loot'' in the National Herald case.

''My daughter is a college student and and she does not run any bar. Her only fault is that her mother holds a press conference on the loot of Rs 5,000 cr by Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. Her fault is that her mother fought against Rahul Gandhi in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha polls,' Smriti Irani said. She also dared Rahul Gandhi to fight from the Amethi Lok Sabha seat again in 2024, and vowed she will make him bite the dust again.
