Vice president’s mimicry row, Modi says unfortunate

 

BY A STAFF REPORTER 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has termed the incident of mimicking Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar by MPs as unfortunate. The Vice President has said this by posting on social media. He told that PM Modi has expressed grief over this incident by calling. The Prime Minister has also said during the conversation that he too has been facing such humiliation for the last 20 years. Not only this, President Droupadi Murmu has also described this incident as disappointing. Dhankar tweeted that, ‘Received a telephone call from the Prime Minister, Shri  Narendra Modi Ji. He expressed great pain over the abject theatrics of some Honourable MPs and that too in the sacred Parliament complex yesterday. He told me that he has been at the receiving end of such insults for twenty years and counting but the fact that it could happen to a Constitutional office like the Vice President of India and that too in the Parliament was unfortunate. I told him- Mr. Prime Minister, the antics of a few won’t prevent me from performing my duty and upholding the principles enshrined in our Constitution. I am committed to those values from the bottom of my heart. None of the insults will make me change my path.’
