The Bharatiya Janata Party fielded three Union ministers, Kiren Rijiju, Sarbananda Sonowal and Bharati Pawar, at a presser held at the party’s national headquarters in New Delhi on Thursday, in which they condemned leader of the Congress legislative party in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary’s reference to the President Droupadi Murmu as the “Rashtrapatni”.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “We strongly condemn the manner in which Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury addressed the President. We’ve been seeing Congress’ comments since the day she was nominated for the post. One Congress spox said “her selection represents the evil philosophy of India”.”
"When she has assumed office of the President, no further remarks should be made. Adhir Ranjan has hurt the dignity of the President with his remark. Not only he but the entire Congress party and its president Sonia Gandhi should apologise to the nation," he added.
