Meanwhile, talking to a news agency, Congress General Secretary in-charge of Communications Jairam Ramesh said, “Several issues were discussed in today’s meeting. There was also discussion on the Speaker election (in Lok Sabha) and President’s address.”
Notably, in a post on X, Kharge has slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi after President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the joint session of both the Houses.
“Overall, Modi ji is making a futile attempt to garner some applause by making the Honourable President read lies, which the people of India have rejected in the 2024 elections,” he said.
