According to BJP politician Harnath Singh Yadav, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary should touch President Droupadi Murmu’s feet to apologise for the comment about “Rashtrapatni.” President Murmu on Friday got a formal apology from a Congress leader following a commotion in Parliament over the “Rashtrapatni” comment made by Congress MP Chowdhary.
“Surprisingly, despite being a woman, Congress President Sonia Gandhi is shielding Chowdhury rather than intervening about the manner in which the statement was made. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury should apologise by touching President Murmu’s feet, and Sonia Gandhi should apologise to the entire nation “Yadav Harnath Singh.
BJP lawmakers, including FM Nirmala Sitharaman, lashed out at Chowdhury for the statement on Thursday in Parliament and demanded that the Congress party provide an apology. BJP leaders asserted that the remark was not a “slip of the tongue,” and they criticised Sonia Gandhi for doing nothing to punish the MP.
In a letter to newly-elected President Droupadi Murmu, the Congress leader expressed regret for using the phrase wrongly to characterise the office. In the letter, Chowdhury stated, “I promise you it was a slip of the tongue. I apologies and request you to accept the same.
