The Rashtrapati Bhavan has criticized Congress leaders for comments they made regarding President Droupadi Murmu's recent address to Parliament, calling the remarks disrespectful to the esteemed office.

In a statement released on Friday, the President's office suggested that a lack of understanding of Indian idiomatic expressions may have contributed to the Congress leaders forming incorrect impressions.

Controversy erupted after a video surfaced on social media featuring Sonia Gandhi discussing the President's speech, where she allegedly commented on the President's fatigue, a sentiment firmly denied by Rashtrapati Bhavan.
