Manmohan Singh memorial: Congress accuses Centre of having "hidden agenda"

New Indian Express  

ALAPPUZHA: The Congress on Sunday alleged that union government could not identify a designated space for performing the last rites of former PM Manmohan Singh, where a memorial could be built later, as it intervened in the matter with a "hidden agenda." "A designated space was not found for Manmohan Singh's last rites and memorial because the central government intervened in the matter with a specific hidden agenda," he alleged. He also accused the Centre of "failing to consult" the Congress party or Manmohan Singh's family members regarding the arrangements. On Saturday, the Congress had also accused the Centre of "insulting" Manmohan Singh, the country's first Sikh Prime Minister, by carrying out his last rites at the Nigambodh Ghat instead of at a designated spot that could later become his memorial.
