Congress MP Manoj Kumar emphasized the need to maintain the dignity of India's presidency beyond caste, religion, and politics, following President Droupadi Murmu's visitation controversy in West Bengal.
The President expressed disappointment with the arrangements at the 9th International Santal Conference and noted the absence of state representatives, prompting criticism of the TMC government by Prime Minister Modi and the BJP.
Prime Minister Modi tagged the incident as a 'gross disrespect' to President Murmu, especially since the event celebrated the Santhal tribal tradition, significant to her tribal heritage and ongoing advocacy for tribal welfare.
