'Government insulted Manmohan Singh': Rahul Gandhi on Congress' memorial demand

Hindustan Times  

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Saturday accused the BJP-led central government of insulting former prime minister Manmohan Singh by cremating him at the Nigam Bodh Ghat, not at a designated spot for his memorial. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pays his last respects to former prime minister Manmohan Singh, at AICC headquarters in New Delhi "The present government has insulted the great son of Mother India and the first prime minister of the Sikh community, Dr Manmohan Singh ji, by performing his last rites at the Nigam Bodh Ghat today," he wrote in Hindi on X. Rahul Gandhi said Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister of India for a decade under whom the country became an economic superpower. "Earlier this morning, the Congress President had written to the Prime Minister, suggesting that the cremation of the former Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, take place at a location where a memorial could be built to honour his legacy. This is nothing but a deliberate insult to the first Sikh Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh," Jairam Ramesh posted on X on Friday.
