A day after President Droupadi Murmu expressed her disappointment over the West Bengal government’s arrangements for the International Santhal Conference in Darjeeling and not adhering to protocol, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at the Trinamool Congress saying the party “insulted the President, the Constitution and democratic principles.” He said the “arrogant politics” of the Trinamool Congress will soon be defeated.
“Today, as the country celebrates Women’s Day, I want to share something which is very painful,” he said in New Delhi. “Yesterday, the Trinamool government insulted the President. She had gone there to participate in a sacred event of the Santhal community, but the Trinamool, instead of participating in it, boycotted the event.”
