‘Supreme commander ignored’: TMC’s Abhishek Banerjee targets Center over President Murmu’s ‘snub’

New Delhi: Trinamool Congress (TMC) National Secretary-General Abhishek Banerjee The trained guns of the BJP (bjp) government, accusing it of humiliating President Droupadi Murmu on caste grounds and ceding India’s strategic autonomy to the United States.Speaking at a party event, Diamond Harbor MP said, “When Manipur was in raging fire for three years, the President remained silent,” TMC national general secretary and MP Abhishek Banerjee said. When the Rama temple was inaugurated, she was not invited because of her caste. The same happened when Parliament took office. “He further said that although the president is the supreme commander of the armed forces, it is the President of the United States who “gives the orders.”“The Indian Armed Forces are under the leadership of the President. When Pakistan and India are at war, all orders should come from her. But these orders were given by the President of the United States.”Banerjee’s remarks came after a political clash broke out between the Center and Bengal’s chief minister on Saturday. Earlier, the President expressed dissatisfaction with the government decision taken during the International Santal Conference in Bangladesh.President Murmu on Saturday said she was not in favor of the last-minute relocation of the venue as the venue was far away from the convenience of the Santal people.“I don’t know what the government was thinking that they chose a place to hold the meeting where Santals cannot go. I feel sorry that people here cannot attend the meeting because it is held too far away,” she said on Saturday.She also added that the absence of the Bengal Chief Minister from the event while the President was present violated the usual protocol.“If the president visits a place, the chief minister and ministers should also come. But she did not. I am also a daughter of Bengal. Mamata Didi is also my sister, my younger sister. I don’t know if she is angry with me and that’s why this happened,” she said.Prime Minister Narendra Modi echoed the sentiment, criticizing the Bengal chief minister for violating the agreement.“They insulted the President of India with a complete disregard for protocol. This incident exposed the deep corruption within the Trinamul government. The insult to the President at an event organized by our tribal brothers and sisters is an insult to our country and the values ​​of our constitutional democracy,” he said.
