Op India  

Reiterating the Bharatiya Janata Party’s belief in “dignity in death,” party MP Sambit Patra on Saturday attacked Congress for indulging in “politics” over the demise of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and said that if someone has “damaged the dignity” of former Finance Minister it’s Congress party. “The kind of politics Congress is doing, especially Rahul Gandhi who has tweeted accusing BJP of disrespecting former PM Manmohan Singh by conducting his last rites at Nigambodh Ghat. Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi attacked the central government for performing the last rites of Manmohan Singh at Nigambodh Ghat and said that the former Finance Minister deserves the “highest respect and a memorial.” “The great son of India and the first Prime Minister of the Sikh community, Dr. Manmohan Singh ji has been totally insulted by the present government by performing his last rites today at the Nigambodh Ghat,” Rahul Gandhi posted on X. The Congress called it a “deliberate insult to the first Sikh Prime Minister of India.” After the Cabinet meeting on Friday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah communicated to Congress President Kharge and the family of the late Manmohan Singh that the Government will allocate space for the memorial.
