The political debate has intensified regarding the funeral of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and his memorial site. Congress and Aam Aadmi Party have made serious allegations against the government. Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu and AAP MP Sanjay Singh have launched a scathing attack on BJP over this, while BJP has called these allegations politically motivated.
Sharp attack between Congress and AAP
Navjot Singh Sidhu’s statement
Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu took aim at the BJP, saying:
“When someone leaves this world, all differences should also end with him. But politics is happening here. How would you have felt if someone had said at the time of Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji’s funeral that his memorial would not be built at Rajghat? “This issue is not about any party, but about the honor of the entire country.”
Sanjay Singh’s question
Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh said:
“It is extremely shameful that we have to talk about this topic. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should clarify why space was not given in the Rajghat complex for the last rites of Dr. Manmohan Singh. Are there any other former Prime Ministers whose last rites were performed at Nigambodh Ghat?”
Statement of Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa
Congress leader Pratap Singh Bajwa called it a question of national identity. He said:
“This demand is not just of Congress, but of the entire country. Dr. Manmohan Singh’s last rites should have taken place where his memorial would be built. The government should have resolved this issue earlier.”
BJP’s counterattack
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi hit back at the Congress, saying:
“Congress did not always respect leaders outside the Gandhi family. BJP has given equal respect to the leaders of all parties. The example of awarding Bharat Ratna to Dr. Manmohan Singh is in front of us. Congress is just doing politics.”
Mallikarjun Kharge raised demand
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded to allot a suitable place for the memorial. On this, Home Minister Amit Shah assured that the government will take appropriate action on this matter and there will be no hindrance in the processes related to the last rites.
Death and funeral of Dr. Manmohan Singh
Dr. Manmohan Singh died on Thursday at AIIMS Hospital in Delhi at the age of 92. He was admitted to the hospital due to age-related health problems. His last rites were performed with state honors at Nigambodh Ghat in Delhi.
Situation regarding the memorial is not clear
However, the government has made it clear that a memorial site for Dr. Manmohan Singh will be built, but no concrete information has been revealed yet on where it will be built.
Dr. Manmohan Singh is remembered as the country’s first Sikh Prime Minister and the father of economic reforms. His memorial site will become a symbol of the country’s history and his legacy.
What do the public have to say?
Seeing the contribution of Dr. Manmohan Singh, the public is also demanding proper respect for him. All eyes are on the government’s next announcement regarding the memorial site.
