PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday slammed the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government for "gravely insulting” President Droupadi Murmu, calling it a "disrespect to the Constitution" and an act that "undermines the rich tradition of democracy".

President Murmu’s venue change controversy ‘Disrespect to Constitution’: PM

Addressing a large gathering at a DDA Ground in New Delhi's Burari, PM Modi said, "Yesterday, the TMC government of West Bengal gravely insulted President Droupadi Murmu. Droupadi Murmu ji travelled to Bengal to participate in a significant celebration of the Santhal community... However, instead of recognising the President, the TMC chose to boycott this sacred and vital occasion of the Santhal community. She hails from the tribal community and has been dedicated to the advancement of tribal welfare."

The remarks came after President Droupadi Murmu expressed displeasure over the last-minute change in the venue of the Santhal Conference in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal on Saturday.
