Sonia Gandhi Comment on President Murmu Sparks Political Firestorm

Delhi - A casual remark by Congress leader Sonia Gandhi about President Droupadi Murmu has triggered a major political controversy. During the Budget Session of Parliament, Gandhi was heard saying, "The President was getting very tired by the end. She could hardly speak, poor thing." The comment quickly drew sharp criticism from political opponents, with the Bharatiya Janata Party calling it elitist and disrespectful.  

 

The Rashtrapati Bhavan issued a strong response, stating that the remark was in poor taste and hurt the dignity of the President's office. Officials clarified that President Murmu was not fatigued and remained committed to her responsibilities, dismissing any notion that she struggled through her speech.  

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP leaders slammed Gandhi, alleging that her words reflected the Congress party's disregard for tribal and marginalized communities. BJP President J P Nadda demanded an apology, accusing the Congress of arrogance and elitism. Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri echoed similar sentiments, calling the comment shocking and offensive.
