00:00No, the poor lady, the president, she is getting very tired by the end.
00:05Repeating the same thing again and again.
00:06No, she could only speak for three.
00:08Hello and welcome to One India News.
00:10Now, there you heard again, Sonia Gandhi calling President Draupadi Murmu a poor lady.
00:16Now, this is absolutely shocking.
00:18Sonia Gandhi, Senior Congress Leader has sparked a nationwide outrage
00:23referring to India's Tribal President Draupadi Murmu as a poor lady is not justified by any standards.
00:29Let us dive deeper into this political controversy that's shaking the nation.
00:34During the budget session on February 1st, President Draupadi Murmu delivered a powerful address.
00:52However, Sonia Gandhi instead of appreciating the address
00:55made an offhand remark calling her poor lady.
00:59Implying that she was tired and struggling to speak.
01:03Now, this remark was condemned by President's office
01:06which issued a strong statement rejecting any claim that President Murmu was tired.
01:11They highlighted that her speech focused on representing marginalized communities, farmers and women.
01:18Prime Minister Narendra Modi was quick to criticize Sonia Gandhi as well
01:22accusing the Congress party of disrespecting a tribal woman who holds the highest constitutional office.
01:28Prime Minister Modi highlighted how Congress continues to reveal its disdain for cross-route leaders
01:35especially those representing marginalized communities.
01:52Now, this isn't the first time Congress leaders have disrespected President Murmu.
02:08In July 2024, Adhiranjan Chaudhary referred to her as Rajshri Patni
02:13drawing widespread criticism for sexist and derogatory remarks.
02:17The question now is simple and straight.
02:20Would Congress have shown the same disrespect if President Murmu came from a privileged elite background?
02:27One thing is clear, this controversy goes beyond just words.
02:31It highlights the Congress party's struggle to accept leaders from marginalized backgrounds.
02:36Time and again, the party has been making derogatory comments
02:40and this is clearly not congenial for the social fabric of the country.
02:45Thanks for watching One India.
