Droupadi Murmu's elevation as President of India moment of great pride, says Amit Shah

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday congratulated Droupadi Murmu for becoming the first tribal President of India and said it was a moment of great pride for the country. In a series of tweets in Hindi, he said the victory is a milestone in the direction of realising the resolve of ‘Antyodaya’ and empowerment of tribal society.

एक अति सामान्य जनजातीय परिवार से आने वाली NDA प्रत्याशी श्रीमती द्रौपदी मुर्मू जी का भारत का राष्ट्रपति चुना जाना पूरे देश के लिए अत्यंत गौरव का पल है, उन्हें बधाई देता हूँ।

यह विजय अन्त्योदय के संकल्प को चरितार्थ करने व जनजातीय समाज के सशक्तिकरण की दिशा में एक मील का पत्थर है।

— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) July 21, 2022

He said that Murmu has reached the highest post of the country after fighting against the odd circumstances, it shows the immense power of our democracy. “Even after so many struggles, the selfless spirit with which she devoted herself in the service of the country and society is inspiring for all,” the tweet added.

श्रीमती द्रौपदी मुर्मू जी जिन विषम परिस्थितियों से संघर्ष करते हुए आज देश के इस सर्वोच्च पद पर पहुँची है वो हमारे लोकतंत्र की अपार शक्ति को दर्शाता है।

इतने संघर्षों के बाद भी उन्होंने जिस निःस्वार्थ भाव से खुद को देश व समाज की सेवा में समर्पित किया वो सभी के लिए प्रेरणीय है।
