Assam: Dilip Saikia hits out at Sonia Gandhi and Rahul for ‘humiliating’ President

GUWAHATI: Assam BJP president Dilip Saika came down heavily on Congress leader Sonia Gandhi for her statement on the speech of the President.

Saikia said, "The disillusioned Congress has this time not spared even the President of the country from humiliation. Congress has shown a lack of respect for the highest constitutional post in the country, which is evident from Sonia Gandhi's statement today. During the joint session of Parliament today, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi insulted President Draupadi Murmu by calling her a 'weak woman,' which is unfortunate," Saikia said, strongly condemning Sonia Gandhi. Saikia termed it a 'disrespectful remark by Sonia Gandhi and the Congress party and demanded an apology from them.'

Assam BJP president Saikia said, "Congress leader Rahul Gandhi calling President Draupadi Murmu's speech 'boring' clearly showed that he uses Parliament as a source of entertainment. Moreover, IND Alliance MP Pappu Yadav also called the President's speech a 'love letter,' exposing his corrupt mindset."

Saikia further stated that Congress' mistreatment of Draupadi Murmu is not the first instance. During the Constitution Day joint session of Parliament in 2024, Rahul Gandhi did not even offer greetings to the President. "However, because she belongs to a tribal community, Rahul Gandhi had previously accused Draupadi Murmu of being barred from entering the Ram Mandir. Later, in the subsequent year, she participated in the grand Arati at Ram Mandir. In 2022, Congress leader Ajay Kumar also insulted President Murmu by calling her the representative of an 'evil philosophy.' Congress leader Dr. Choudhury had even mocked her by calling her 'Rashtrapati-ni.' Additionally, one of the key partners in the IND Alliance, Trinamool Congress Minister Akhil Giri, had made derogatory remarks about Draupadi Murmu's physical appearance and beauty. In this way, Congress has repeatedly mocked the highest constitutional office in the country, which reflects a dangerous threat to the democratic system," Saikia said.
