"Shameful And Unprecedented": PM Modi Slams Trinamool After President's Remarks

Slamming the Trinamool Congress hours after President Droupadi Murmu criticised the party and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for changing the venue of the International Santhal Conference, Prime Minister Narendra Modi termed the developments "shameful and unprecedented".

President Murmu, who was in north Bengal and was the chief guest for the event on Saturday, questioned why the venue was changed from Bidhannagar to Goshaipur, where not many people reportedly attended. She also asked whether the Trinamool Congress chief was upset with her, pointing out that neither Banerjee nor any of her ministers had gone to receive her.
