Addressing the joint session of the budget session of Parliament, the comment of Congress Parliamentary Party leader Sonia Gandhi on the speech of President Draupadi Murmu has created a political controversy. The BJP described it as an insult to a tribal President and demanded an apology to Sonia Gandhi. In response to this, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi attacked the BJP and said that those demanding forgiveness should first apologize for ‘sinking the country’.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in the Parliament complex, “My mother is a 70-80 year old woman, she simply said that ‘the President read such a long speech that she must have been tired, poor’… She (President of India) She does I think it is unfortunate that such things are being distorted by the media. Both are respected people and are older than us… had no intention to insult them. ” When he was questioned on the demand for BJP’s apology, he said, “Those people who have immersed the country, first apologize for him.”
Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi said after the President’s speech that she was tired till the end and could barely speak. BJP President JP Nadda condemned Sonia Gandhi’s comments, saying that he should apologize unconditionally from the President and the tribal community. Several senior BJP leaders and Union ministers have raised the matter and demanded an apology.
In the Lok Sabha of the Congress, Deputy Leader Gaurav Gogoi posted on ‘X’, “Sonia Gandhi’s sympathy for the health of Honorable President Draupadi Murmu ji is not digesting the BJP. Every citizen of India has respect and sympathy for the President. ” He also asked the BJP, “Will he answer the disrespect to President Murmu when he was not invited to the inauguration of the Ram temple in Parliament House or Ayodhya?” I challenge them to answer this question. “
