Led by BJP leader and former Union Minister Faggan Singh Kulaste, the BJP MPs, who belong to tribal communities from across the country, have called for disciplinary action from the Rajya Sabha Chairman and Lok Sabha Speaker against both Sonia Gandhi and Bihar MP Pappu Yadav for their remarks, which they argued had demeaned the dignity of the office of the President. Speaking to reporters about the breach of parliamentary privilege notice, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Monday said that MPs from tribal communities had taken Sonia Gandhi's remark about President Droupadi Murmu seriously and had submitted a memorandum to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. He added that the BJP MPs had also submitted a notice to the Lok Sabha Speaker against Pappu Yadav, who is an independent MP from Bihars Purnia, for describing the Presidents address to the joint sitting of both Houses as reading a love letter. Rijiju further stated that the BJP MPs had urged the Rajya Sabha Chairman to take action against Sonia Gandhi for using terms like poor thing in reference to the President.

The MPs also cited the Parliamentary Ethics and Code of Conduct, which prohibits members from making defamatory remarks against others, particularly those involving the President of India, especially within the premises of Parliament. They described the remarks as a clear manifestation of the elitist and anti-tribal mindset of Sonia Gandhi, accusing her of failing to understand the struggles of the tribal poor.

The Secretariat further stated that the remarks were in poor taste and hurt the dignity of the high office.
