“The world is witness to the fact that the people of India have elected a stable government with a clear majority for the third consecutive term. This has happened after six decades,” President Murmu stated.
The opposition interrupted with slogans, particularly when the President mentioned the Emergency.
“Emergency was the biggest and darkest chapter of direct attack on the Constitution. The entire country plunged into chaos during the Emergency, but our nation emerged victorious against such unconstitutional powers,” President Murmu said.
Further slogans were raised when the President addressed the NEET exam controversy.
“Sanctity and transparency are essential in government recruitments and examinations. Cases of paper leaks and irregularities are being investigated at a high level to ensure accountability. We must rise above partisan politics,” she emphasized.
