@ Jia, The situations are quite similar.
Sumitra did not want a DIL like Ganga, because she feared that alliance with Ganga, will invite troubles through Ratan Singh (Ganga's past) and besides that she wished for a virgin, educated and smart DIL like Saanchi.
Underlying concept: A mother's fear and her wish to see her son having a secured future
Similarly, Ganga fears to give away Mannu to Ratan Singh because of Ratan's history
Underlying concept: A mother's fear (insecurity) and her wish to see her son having a secured future with a father like J, instead of a father like Ratan.

Why was Sumi upset?
When she raised her worries regarding Ganga and her association with RS, Bhairon and Jagya brushed off her worries instead of addressing her gently. To add fuel, when Ganga chose to leave BH (after the haveli burn fiasco), she left an emotional letter to J, making it sound like she is forced to leave the haveli. And worse even, J and Bhairon blamed Sumi for Ganga leaving the haveli.
Why is Ganga upset?
She has her own fears about not letting Mannu know about his real identity but instead of calming her fears down and addressing her emotions, J is silently supporting Anandi's actions and thought processes which is outraging Ganga. And this is natural.
Just as Sumi was feeling outraged and left out back then, Ganga is feeling it this time.
Ganga vs Anandi:
The only difference is that Ganga was an opportunist back then and took every available opportunity to stay close to Singhs and Jagya, until she eventually became BH's bahu,
While Anandi is interfering in JaGan's life, and may continue to do so till Ganga agrees to make Mannu meet Ratan.
Back then Ganga pretended that she is sorry for hurting Singhs by marrying Jagya (that it was not within her control to stop J from marrying her). But reality is that she very much wanted that marriage and that's why did not wait to take everyone's consent. Hence she played ' poor soul'
Similarly Anandi is now pretending to be sorry for hurting Ganga (i.e. that she was facing such a situation that she had to make a promise to Ratan Singh). But in reality Anandi very much wants Mannu to meet Ratan and that's why she also did not wait to take JaGan's consent. Hence playing a 'poor soul'
Both Ganga and Anandi always do what they want and then they act like nothing was in their control.
