MP CM Yadav condemns 'insult' to President Murmu, demands apology from WB CM Banerjee

BHOPAL: (Mar 8) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday strongly condemned the alleged violation of protocol in West Bengal on the issue of welcoming President Droupadi Murmu and demanded an apology from CM Mamata Banerjee.

A controversial situation arose during the visit of President Murmu to West Bengal when Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's government in the state did not follow the protocol, Yadav said in a statement.

When the President arrived in Bidhannagar near Siliguri on March 7 to address a gathering of tribals, neither the chief minister nor any other minister was present to welcome her, he said.
