Manmohan Singh Demise / BJP and Congress face to face over Manmohan Singh, Priyanka targets the central government

Manmohan Singh Demise: After the death of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, a political controversy has arisen regarding his funeral and memorial site. In this matter, sharp rhetoric is being seen between Congress and BJP. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi targeted the central government on the social media platform 'X' and called this incident a disrespect to the post and personality of the former Prime Minister.

Priyanka Gandhi's statement

Priyanka Gandhi wrote, "By not providing a proper place for the funeral of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh ji, the government did not do justice to the dignity of the post of former Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh ji's personality, his legacy and the self-respecting Sikh community." She also said that former Prime Ministers have always been given the highest respect and Manmohan Singh ji also deserves this honor.

Priyanka Gandhi told in her post that Manmohan Singh's family members had to struggle a lot to get a place at the funeral site. She also said that the general public had to face difficulties in paying tribute. Priyanka Gandhi appealed to the central government to think above politics and narrow-mindedness on this issue.

BJP's response

In this matter, the BJP hit back at the Congress, saying that it is inappropriate to do politics on such a sensitive issue. BJP spokespersons accused the Congress of resorting to dirty politics in the name of Manmohan Singh.

Congress chief Kharge's appeal

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide space for Manmohan Singh's memorial at the same place where his last rites are being performed. He described it as in line with the tradition created for former Prime Ministers.

Central government's stand

Reacting to this controversy, the central government said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has assured that a proper place will be allotted for the memorial of Dr. Manmohan Singh. He also said that the last rites and other formalities can be completed soon.

Political message

Manmohan Singh's death has ended an era in Indian politics. His contribution was appreciated by all political parties, but the controversy over the memorial and the burial site may deepen the questions raised about his legacy. This controversy also shows how political parties try to pursue their interests on sensitive issues.

This incident has made clear the difference between the tradition of respect for former Prime Ministers and the narrow-mindedness of current politics. It is hoped that this matter will be resolved soon without creating further controversy.
