NCW Summons Congress Leader For Remarks Against President

Former MP Udit Raj has stoked a controversy with his unsavoury remarks against President Droupadi Murmu, prompting the women’s panel to seek his personal appearance and the BJP to term the Congress as 'anti-tribal', The Indian Tribal reports

The Indian Tribal News | NCW Summons Congress Leader For Remarks Against President

New Delhi

The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Thursday summoned Congress leader Udit Raj over his “sycophancy” remark against President Droupadi Murmu even as the BJP termed the Congress “anti-tribal” and sought an apology from the former MP.

In a notice issued to Raj on Thursday, the Commission asked him to appear before it on October 10 and explain his “extremely condemnable and shameful” comments.

The NCW said, “The Commission has taken cognisance of his remark.  The comments made are extremely condemnable and shameful. The Commission has sent a notice to Shri Udit Raj. NCW has scheduled a hearing and asked Shri Raj to appear before the Commission in person on October 10, 2022 at 3 pm.”

NCW Chairperson Rekha Sharma tweeted, “Highly objectionable statement against the Supreme power of the country and a woman who with her sheer hard work reached this position. @Dr_Uditraj must apologise for his derogatory and insulting statement. @NCWIndia is sending him a notice.”

The Congress leader had, earlier in the day, remarked:  “No country should get a president like Droupadi Murmu. This is height of sycophancy. She says 70 per cent of people eat Gujarat’s salt. Spend your life eating salt, then you will know the truth.”

Raj was reacting to Murmu’s statement recently at a function wherein she had noted that Gujarat manufactures 76 per cent of salt produced in the country. “It can be said that all countrymen eat Gujarat’s salt,” she had said.

“It is a matter of surprise and pain that Congress leaders are regularly using such undignified expressions. This exposes the party’s anti-tribal mindset. The Congress should apologise,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.

His party colleague and spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla too lashed out at the Congress leader. He tweeted: “Udit Raj uses unacceptable language for the 1st woman Adivasi President! Does the Congress endorse this insult of Adivasi samaj?”

“After Ajoy Kumar called President Draupadi Murmu as evil & then Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary used the term ‘Rashtrapatni’ now Congress stoops to a new low!” the BJP spokesperson tweeted.

Raj comes from the Scheduled Caste community and was elected to the Lok Sabha on a BJP ticket in 2014. He joined the Congress before the 2019 polls after the BJP denied him a ticket.

With the Congress officially refusing to respond on the issue and facing backlash from the BJP and other quarters over social media, Raj came out with a clarification on Twitter, saying his statement on President Murmu was his only and had “nothing to do with the Congress”.

“Her candidature & campaign were in the name (of) adivasi, it doesn’t mean she is no longer adivasi. My heart cries that when SC/ST reach to higher position, they ditch their communities & become mum,” he said.

But Poonawalla said neither Udit Raj nor the Congress can wash the hands off this by issuing a statement. 

“By merely tweeting this is a personal statement won’t do! Congress must tell us if they will ACT ON UDIT RAJ or not for his Adivasi Virodhi statement. This is the third strike after Ajoy Kumar & Adhir Ranjan statements on Murmu ji! This is not a Sanyog ! It is INC mindset,” Poonawalla wrote.

Update

Honorarium of tribal heads increased in Tripura

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has announced a hike in the monthly honorarium of Pradhan Samajpatis or tribal heads from Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000. Tripura has 19 recognised tribes, headed by 20 Pradhan Samajpatis. The Jamatia tribe has two Pradhan Samajpatis. “In a significant decision aimed at empowering grassroots Janjati (tribal) leadership, the state cabinet has approved key amendments to the existing policy governing the honorarium of Pradhan Samajpatis,” Saha posted on Facebook on Thursday. The CM further said the Cabinet has also decided to remove the previous restriction that excluded government employees and pensioners from availing of the benefits of the scheme. “With this, all duly elected or selected Pradhan Samajpatis will now be eligible to receive the monthly honorarium, irrespective of their employment or pension status,” he maintained.
