Sen, while cautioning Giri that there is a disciplinary committee of the party which will do its job, also advised the leaders to refrain from such comments.
He also said that his party holds President Droupadi Murmu in high regard. In such a situation, the comment made by the TMC leader is unfortunate and is strongly condemned, he said.

Munda said that this statement is disturbing, and he condemns it. He said that Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee should immediately dismiss Giri from the Cabinet.
Meanwhile, West Bengal BJP leader Saumitra Khan has written to the National Commission for Women (NCW), demanding strict action against TMC leader Giri. He has demanded the NCW to arrest the TMC leader and take strict action.
The BJP has also filed a complaint against TMC Minister Akhil Giri at Nandigram police station for his controversial statement. The National Commission for Women has also taken cognizance of the matter.
