In Poor Taste, Avoidable': Rashtrapati Bhavan On Sonia Gandhi's 'Poor Thing' Remark On Murmu
Without naming the congress leader, a statement from President Murmu's office called the comments made by 'some prominent leaders' in poor taste, "unfortunate and entirely avoidable."
The Rashtrapati Bhavan on friday reacted to congress leader Sonia Gandhi's statement on President Droupadi Murmu's address to the parliament as "unfortunate and entirely avoidable".
Without naming the congress leader, a statement from President Murmu's office called the comments made by 'some prominent leaders' in poor taste, "unfortunate and entirely avoidable."
"While reacting to the media on the Hon’ble President’s Address to the parliament, some prominent leaders of the congress party have made comments that hurt the dignity of the high office, and therefore are unacceptable. These leaders have said that the President was getting very tired by the end and she could hardly speak," the statement from the President's office said.
"Rashtrapati Bhavan would like to clarify that nothing could be farther from the truth. The President was not tired at any point. Indeed, she has believed that speaking up for marginalized communities, for women and farmers, as she was doing during her address, can never be tiring. The President’s office believes it might be the case that these leaders have not acquainted themselves with the idiom and discourse in indian languages such as Hindi, and thus formed a wrong impression. In any case, such comments are in poor taste, unfortunate, and entirely avoidable," the statement added.
