In the post, Indranil wrote, “Just as I don’t support Gay marriage, similarly I don’t support an Adivasi President.” Insulting the president-elect, he wrote, “Few chairs are not meant for “All” & have a dignity attached to them. Do we allow a sweeper to perform Durga Puja? Can a Hindu teach at a Madrasah? These are nothing but cheap socio-political gimmicks of the ruling party in creating a Rubber Stamp Constitutional Head so that laws can be passed easily showing the middle finger to the Opposition parties.”
Referring to the post of President of India, Indranil wrote, “Today, we have humiliated not only that Chair of Raisina Hills but also few great souls like APJ Abdul Kalam, Pranab Mukherjee, S. Radhakrishnan, Zakir Hussain, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, Rajendra Prasad & the likes.”
Indranil deleted his Facebook account after his post became viral on the social media network. According to Indranil Chatterjee’s Linkedin profile, he is a Deputy General Manager and Regional Head, East at India Today Group.
Notably, Draupadi Murmu of the NDA won the presidential election over Yashwant Sinha of the opposition to become the country’s next president. She was born to a Santal Tribal family on June 20, 1958, in the village of Uparbeda, district Mayurbhanj in Odisha. From 2015 until 2021, she served as Jharkhand’s honorable governor. She was the first female governor of the state as well as the first tribal leader to hold the position in an Indian state.
