PM Modi posted a video of some of President Murmu’s remarks and accused the TMC of treating Santhal culture casually and pointed out that the President is himself a member of a tribal community.
The remarks by PM Modi came hours after President Droupadi Murmu criticized 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. Murmu also questioned whether the TMC or the party supremo was upset with her, highlighting that nobody was present to receive her.
This is a breaking story. More details awaited.
