Smriti Irani insulted President: Chowdhary
In a long letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Chieftain It is alleged that Smriti Irani was shouting ‘Draupadi Murmu’ repeatedly without the honorable President or Madam or Smt. “It amounts to disgraceful stature to the office of the President. I demand that the way she was addressing the President, be removed,” the Congress leader said.
“Irani treated Sonia Gandhi very unfairly and used derogatory words. Sonia Gandhi was given verbal assault and physical threats and the ruling party created a hostile atmosphere for her in the House… I appeal to you that since Sonia Gandhi Gandhi said he has nothing to do with this controversy, the whole episode mentioning his name can also be removed.”
After the uproar in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, there was an atmosphere of panic. BJP The members strongly opposed Chowdhury’s reference to President Murmu as ‘President’.
Union minister Smriti Irani accused Choudhary of insulting Murmu and claimed that he had insulted the entire tribal community, women, poor and downtrodden with his remarks.
He said Murmu has become a target of hatred of the Congress as the opposition party is unable to digest that a poor tribal woman has become the President of the country. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s remarks are anti-tribal, anti-poor and anti-women, he claimed.
Taking a jibe at Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Irani alleged that Gandhi has “sanctioned the humiliation” of a poor tribal woman holding the highest constitutional post in the country.
Chowdhury had defended himself saying that he never intended to insult the President and that his ‘President’ remark was a ‘slip of tongue’.
He also accused the BJP of making a “mountain from a mole” and said he would apologize to President Murmu, but not to “these hypocrites” (hypocrites).
“I am waiting for BJP to declare me a terrorist and arrest me under UAPA. They want to be a champion of tribals, but hide how the killings are happening. Laws brought under Sonia Gandhi are being changed. .They are working against the tribals.” Choudhary said.
This trend continued on Friday as well and Parliament had to be adjourned till August 1.
