I used an LM324 op-amp for my differential amplifier, in which the inverting input voltage is constant and the non-inverting voltage varies between the range -1.30 V to 1.30 V.
I am having an issue when I give -1.30 V to the non-inverting input. The op-amp produces a very high output voltage, instead of 0 V. Is there any mistake with the sample circuit below? Does anyone know how to rectify the error?

That means you may have -0.65 volts on the non-inverting input (R3 = R4 = 1 kohm).
The absolute maximum ratings indicate that the lowest acceptable input voltage is -0.3 volts. This means -0.65 is too excessive.
The recommended operating conditions specify that the lowest voltage any any input is 0 volts.
There may be other issues but this stands out as problematic for your design.
