Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday slammed Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi over their remarks on President Droupadi Murmu's address to the joint sitting of two Houses of Parliament, saying the remarks are an insult to the "tribal brothers and sisters" of the country.

Addressing a public meeting in Dwarka, the Prime Minister said the "royal family of the Congress does not like those who rise from the grass-roots" and "repeatedly insults the poor and people from Dalit, Adivasi, OBC communities who are achievers".

The Prime Minister said in a post on X later that the "royal family" should seek an apology from the President.

"Today the royal family of Congress has insulted the President. They should at the earliest tender apology to the President and our poor brothers and sisters and those belonging to SC, ST and OBC communities, he said. The post had video clip of PM’s speech at Dwarka rally.

In his speech, PM Modi said “AAPda and Congress represent height of arrogance” and the “royal family of Congress showed its arrogance again today”.
