Ms. Smriti Irani, the Union Minister on Friday, the 29th of July, met the President of India Ms. Droupadi Murmu. The meeting was scheduled a day after leading the charge against the Congress over party leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s ‘Rashtrapati’ remark.
Both the Houses of Parliament were adjourned on Friday amid uproar over Chowdhury’s comments and other issues.
Had the privilege of calling upon the Honourable President of India Droupadi Murmu Ji along with MOS,” Irani said in a tweet, on the 29th of July.
In regard to this issue, a major political row broke out in the Parliament, on the 28th of July, Thursday over Aadhir Ranjan Chowdhury’s ‘Rashtrapati’ remark. The BJP launched an all-out offensive against Congress and accused Chowdhury of hurling a “deliberate sexist insult” at President Murmu and demanded an apology from Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
Mr. Chowdhury, who is the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, said he never intended to disrespect the President and his ‘Rashtrapati’ remark was a “slip of the tongue”.
The Indian National Congress (INC) condemned the remark and apologised for the statement and said, they would also tender and apology to the President of India, Ms. Draupadi Murmu.
