Mamata Banerjee Should Sack Him, Apologise: Union Tribal Affairs Minister On TMC Leader's Comment On President

Arjun Munda on Saturday condemned Trinamool Congress leader Akhil Giri’s remark on President Droupadi Murmu and demanded an apology from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Union Minister of Tribal Affairs Arjun Munda on Saturday condemned Trinamool Congress leader Akhil Giri’s remark on President Droupadi Murmu and demanded an apology from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He said that Banerjee should immediately dismiss such a leader from her cabinet and apologize in front of the nation for such comments.

He also said that such remarks affect our international identity and it also clearly reflects that the West Bengal government will continue harassing Adivasi communities.

Hate comment on President Droupadi Murmu is strongly condemnable. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee should immediately dismiss such a leader from her cabinet & apologize in front of the nation for such comments. She should make a clarification, news agency ANI quoted Arjun Munda as saying.

West Bengal CM is female & a minister from her cabinet has made such a hate comment on our tribal President. This also affects our international identity... It clearly reflects that the WB govt will continue harassing Adivasi communities, he added.

In a video that went viral, the Minister for Correctional Administration, while addressing people in Nandigram on Thursday, was heard saying, "We don't judge anyone by their appearance, we respect the office of the President (of India). But how does our President look?".

The incident has evoked a sharp response from the BJP. BJP MP Saumitra Khan writes to National Commission for Women (NCW), requesting them to "immediately arrest" Akhil Giri and take appropriate action against him. She also requested them to "try to dismiss him from the MLA post also" over his objectionable remark on President Droupadi Murmu.
