BJP Files Privilege Motion Against Sonia Gandhi Over 'Poor Thing' Remark on President

The BJP accuses Sonia Gandhi of using elitist and anti-tribal language to demean President Droupadi Murmu, sparking calls for disciplinary action.

BJP MPs have filed a breach of privilege notice against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi for her 'poor thing' remark about President Droupadi Murmu following her budget session speech.
The BJP alleges that Gandhi's comment was derogatory, slanderous, and violated parliamentary ethics by undermining the dignity of the President's office.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP leaders criticized the remarks, framing them as an insult to tribal communities and accusing Gandhi of an elitist mindset.
The Rashtrapati Bhavan issued a statement condemning the remark as 'unfortunate' and asserting that the President was not tired during her speech.
Congress leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, defended Sonia Gandhi, claiming the remarks were innocuous and misinterpreted, emphasizing her respect for the President.
