Shiv Sena MP Raut condemns TMC minister Akhil Giri’s remarks over President

Over West Bengal TMC leader Akhil Giri’s remarks against the President Droupadi Murmu Rajya Sabha member and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday lashed him.

Shiv Sena’s leader said such a statement against the Prime Minister or the President of India will not be tolerated by his party.

Talking to the media Shiv Sena MP Raut said, “We must respect the constitutional post of the President of India.”

Meanwhile, on Friday objectionable remarks were made against the President of India by TMC leader Akhil Giri.

While hitting out at Suvendu Adhikari Giri said, “He (Suvendu Adhikari) says I am not good-looking. How beautiful you are! We don’t judge anyone by their appearance, we respect the office of the President of India. But how does our President look?”

“We (Shiv Sena) will not tolerate any kind of such statement on the PM or president. One must respect both,” Raut said.

Moreover, MP Gajanan Kirtikar joined the Shinde faction on which Raut reacted and said, “If he (Gajanan Kritikar) says the direction of (Shinde) is right, then let’s wait for the election. It’s the people who will decide whose direction is right,”

However, Raut also talked about the Himachal Pradesh election and said BJP is a stronger party and BJP leader JP Nadda himself is from Himachal Pradesh so it is difficult to say who will win. Raut also talked about Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi and said she has also worked hard.
