On Suvendu Adhikari's alleged 'shoe' remark on Bengal minister, TMC MP asks: 'Can Nadda, Modi apologise?'

Hindustan Times  

Following West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's apology for colleague Akhil Giri's remarks on President Droupadi Murmu, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee has asked if BJP national president JP Nadda and Prime Minister Narendra Modi would do the same for MLA Suvendu Adhikari's “derogatory” statement against a woman, tribal minister of the eastern state. Terming the BJP as an “anti-tribal” party, Abhishek sought to know if Nadda and Modi have the courage to apologise for Adhikari's comments in front of the Indian public. “The sheer disregard of the BJP towards the tribal community reflects in their actions,” the ruling party of Bengal tweeted along with the video clip of Abhishek's statement. The row began on Sunday after TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh tweeted a purported video of Adhikari making remarks against Bengal minister from the Schedule Tribe community Birbaha Hansda.
