Akhil Giri, the West Bengal minister of state for the state correctional services, made objectionable comments against President Murmu.
“We don’t judge anyone by their appearance. We respect the office of the President. But how does our president look,” he commented at a public programme at Nandigram in East Midnapore district recently.
