Verbal attack on President Murmu, again! "How does our President look..", TMC Minister makes objectionable remarks

Kolkata, Nov 12: West Bengal Minister and TMC leader Akhil Giri on Friday (Nov 11) made objectionable remarks against President Droupadi Murmu reflecting that the level of political discourse has reached another low.

 

 

 

 

"He ( Suvendu Adhikari) says I am not good-looking. How beautiful you are! We don't judge anyone by their appearance, we respect the office of the President (of India). But how does our President look?" the TMC leader said while hitting out at Suvendu Adhikari in a public rally in Nandigram. Giri was taking on West Bengal Opposition leader Adhikari following an incident of unrest in the BJP leader's Nandigram constituency over the Martyrs' Day event.

 

 

 

 

 

"He (Suvendu) calls me half-pant minister. If I am half a pant minister, then what was your father? Underwear minister? I don't have any minister above me in my department. But your father had. What does a person wear under half-pants? (laugh) Then your father is a negti minister (underwear minister). He tells girls "don't touch my body". What will happen if girls touch your body? Suvendu is waiting for the police to arrest him. He asks the police to arrest him. Then he tells women police officers 'don't touch my body'," said the West Bengal Minister.

 

 

President Droupadi Murmu hails from the Tribal community. She is the first tribal President of India and the country's second female President. The BJP has condemned the statement of the Bengal minister and called Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her party "anti-tribal". "President Droupadi Murmu, hails from the Tribal community. Akhil Giri, TMC Minister of Correctional Homes made objectionable comments about her in the presence of Shashi Panja, another minister from the women's welfare department Mamata Banerjee and TMC are anti-tribal," the BJP Bengal unit tweeted while sharing a video of Giri.
