Controversy over Sonia Gandhi’s statement, BJP responds strongly

A controversy has erupted over Congress MP Sonia Gandhi’s statement following President Droupadi Murmu’s speech in Parliament.

The controversy began when Sonia Gandhi referred to the President as a ‘poor thing’ outside Parliament, while Rahul Gandhi called her speech boring.

The BJP has condemned this as an insult to the President, sparking a further controversy. During this, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi also launched an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding to the ongoing controversy.

On Friday, Congress Parliamentary Party leader Sonia Gandhi said after President Droupadi Murmu’s speech that she felt exhausted by the end of her address and could barely speak, igniting yet another controversy.

Speaking to reporters in the Parliament complex, she said, “By the end, the President looked very tired and could barely speak, poor thing.” Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi termed the President’s speech as boring, adding to the growing controversy.

The BJP has labeled Sonia Gandhi’s comments as an insult to the President, intensifying the controversy. Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that Sonia Gandhi disrespected the President, further fueling the controversy.

BJP’s Strong Rebuttal to Congress Leaders Over President Murmu Controversy

He further said that Congress MPs Sonia Gandhi and her son, opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, used words against the President that he could never have imagined. He questioned what more could be expected from them.

Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar said that there was a time when Congress was considered a national party. However, since Rahul Gandhi took over the party, all his advisors have been extreme leftists from JNU. This is why their policies and statements are often disrespectful towards constitutional positions.

He added that Congress should not make such comments about the speech of a tribal woman who became the first citizen of India.

BJP National President and Union Minister JP Nadda said that he and every BJP worker strongly condemn the words used by Sonia Gandhi for President Droupadi Murmu.

He further stated that they should apologize to her. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi, commenting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement about not having any foreign attempts to incite violence, said that he neither talks about the people’s issues nor addresses them.

BJP’s Attack on Congress: An Insult to President Murmu

The deliberate use of such words reflects the elitist, anti-poor, and anti-tribal nature of the Congress party. I demand that Congress apologize unconditionally to the President and India’s tribal communities.

BJP’s IT Department head Amit Malviya wrote on X that Sonia Gandhi has insulted the high office of the President.

This reflects her feudal mindset. This is not the first time Congress has mocked the first tribal woman to hold the highest constitutional position in the country.

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, who often shows the Constitution, didn’t even think of presenting a courtesy gift to the President.

In Congress, there is no respect for Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution, constitutional values, or for socially marginalized groups like Dalits, OBCs, and tribals. The rot starts from the top.

Congress accused of insulting President Murmu and attacking PM Modi.

Rajya Sabha member Rekha Sharma said that she feels Congress loses its mind when it is out of power. They don’t know how to speak about constitutional positions.

She observed that when the English version of the President’s speech was being read, expressing condolences for those who lost their lives in the Kumbh, Sonia Gandhi was smiling.

She was also instructing her party MPs to make noise. Her conduct in the House was very low-level.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju condemned the comments made by Sonia Gandhi and other opposition leaders.

He said, Our President is a tribal woman. She is not weak. Droupadi Murmu has worked extensively for the country and society, and they cannot even imagine the kind of work she has done.

In the previous session, we saw that he did not allow discussion. That’s why he is making such statements.
