President’s office reduced to tokenism under BJP-RSS govt: Mallikarjun Kharge

SHARE:

New Delhi: In a series of tweets on Monday, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge slammed the Narendra Modi-led Centre for not inviting President Draupadi Murmu for not inviting her to the inauguration of new Parliament building.

He said, “The Modi government has repeatedly disrespected propriety. The Office of the President of India is reduced to tokenism under the BJP-RSS Government.”

He accused the BJP-led central government of ensuring election of President from Dalit and Tribal commiuntiy for electoral reasons.

“It looks like the Modi Govt has ensured election of President of India from the Dalit and the Tribal communities only for electoral reasons. While Former President, Shri Kovind was not invited for the New Parliament foundation laying ceremony…,” said Kharge.

“The President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu is not being invited for the inauguration of the new Parliament Building. The Parliament of India is the supreme legislative body of the Republic of India, and the President of India is its highest Constitutional authority,” he continued.

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Kharge streesed that, “She (President Murmu) alone represents government, opposition, and every citizen alike. She is the First Citizen of India. Inauguration of the new Parliament building by her will symbolise Government’s commitment to Democratic values and Constitutional propriety.”

Earlier on Sunday, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also said that the inauguration of the news Parliament should be done by President Draupadi Murmu instead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“The President should inaugurate the new Parliament House, not the Prime Minister!,” wrote Gandhi in a Twitter post.
