'Shameful': PM Modi criticises Mamata Banerjee for remarks on President Droupadi Murmu

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamool Congress (TMC) have once again found themselves at the center of a controversy. On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed TMC for their remarks on President Droupadi Murmu.

Taking to X, PM Modi wrote, "This is shameful and unprecedented. Everyone who believes in democracy and the empowerment of tribal communities is disheartened. The pain and anguish expressed by Rashtrapati Ji, who herself hails from a tribal community, has caused immense sadness in the minds of the people of India. The TMC Government of West Bengal has truly crossed all limits. Their administration is responsible for this insult to the President..."

The remarks by PM Modi came hours after President Droupadi Murmu criticised the government for changing the venue of the International Santhal Conference. Murmu, who was in North Bengal and was the chief guest for an event today, questioned the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government on why the venue was changed from Biddannagar to Goshaipur, where many people did not attend.

This is a breaking story. More details awaited.
