However, even before this, Smriti Irani has told the allegations of Congress as false. He said on Saturday that his daughter is 18 years old. The daughter is a first year student of the college and is not running any bar. Smriti Irani said that Congress is doing character assessment of her daughter by making such allegations. The Union Minister had challenged Rahul Gandhi to contest from Amethi again and said that she would defeat him again.

The Congress on Saturday alleged that Smriti Irani’s daughter was running an ‘illegal bar’ in Goa. The opposition party requested PM Modi to sack the Union Minister for Women and Child Development. However, these allegations have already been dismissed by Smriti Irani’s daughter.

Kirat Nagra, the lawyer for the Union minister’s daughter, said her client neither owns nor operates the restaurant ‘Silly Souls’. No show cause notice has also been issued to him.
