Amid Manmohan Singh's memorial row, Pranab Mukherjee's daughter's dig at Congress

India Today  

Sharmistha Mukherjee, daughter of former President Pranab Mukherjee and a former Congress member, criticised the party for demanding a separate memorial space for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh while failing to convene a Working Committee meeting to condole her father's death. Her remarks come amidst a fresh controversy surrounding the Congress's appeal for a dedicated memorial for former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, requesting a resting place for Singh that would also serve as a memorial, in keeping with the tradition of honouring distinguished statesmen. The BJP, in turn, pointed out the Congress's failure to build a memorial for former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao.
