“New low in Indian politics,” BJP’s Sambit Patra berates Gandhis as Manmohan memorial row peaks - 28th Dec 2024

BJP MP Sambit Patra said, "This is a new low in politics of India, thanks to the Congress party. Due to the Congres party - we are here to have a press conference on the day when the last rites of the former prime minister were done... BJP believes that there has to be dignity in death. The kind of politics Congress is doing, especially Rahul Gandhi - who has tweeted about the cremation is shameful. We in a cabinet meeting after the demise of the former PM Manmohan Singh - decided that since he was the PM and had a big stature  - the cabinet wrote a letter to Congress and Dr Singh's family - where the cabinet said that we should build a memorial in his name so that the country and the world remember him for his positive works."

[ad_1] Guwahati: A day after former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was cremated at Delhi's Nigambodh Ghat, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday accused the Congress of attempting to trigger a controversy over the party veteran's last rites.  He alleged that the grand-old party was trying to trigger a row over ex-PM's cremation despite the Central govt's announcement of a “fitting memorial” to honour his legacy.Sarma said it was not the first time that the Congress has "shown such disregard – be it towards the legacy of Narasimha Rao or Pranab Mukherjee, the party has, unfortunately, treated its own with indifference”.The CM’s remarks came after the Congress accused the Centre of insulting Singh, the country's first Sikh prime minister, by performing his last rites at Nigambodh Ghat instead of a designated spot that could be turned into his memorial.Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi had said the BJP-led Centre had "totally insulted" Singh by performing his last rites at Nigambodh Ghat.The BJP maintained that the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi had allocated space for Singh's memorial and also informed his family about it, and accused the Congress of indulging in "cheap politics" over the former PM’s cremation."Dr Manmohan Singh, a statesman of unparalleled dignity and intellect, deserved much better, both in life and in death. It is deeply disheartening to witness the Congress Party attempting to stir controversy around his final journey, diminishing the solemnity it truly deserved," Sarma said in a post on X.The BJP leader said the people of India have bid Singh, who was a Rajya Sabha MP from Assam for over two decades, including during his tenure as PM, a respectful and heartfelt farewell, recognising his invaluable contributions to the nation."Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji has already announced a fitting memorial to honour his legacy, reflecting the nation's gratitude. Yet, the actions of some, who seek to turn this moment of mourning into an opportunity for political gain, are deeply painful," Sarma said."The public still remembers the indignities inflicted upon Dr Singh during his tenure, including Rahul Gandhi's infamous gestures that undermined his stature. Such actions remain etched in the nation's memory," he said.Sarma, who was with the Congress before joining the saffron party, asserted that after his death, Singh's “legacy should not be sullied by political opportunism”."Let us honour his memory with the dignity and respect he so richly deserves, free from any discord or manipulation by the leadership of the congress party," the CM added. (With PTI inputs) [ad_2] Source link

ReutersManmohan Singh came across as a quiet, gentle person in publicThe prospect of a shy politician is somewhat hard to imagine. Unless that politician is Manmohan Singh.Since the death of the former Indian prime minister on Thursday, much has been said about the "kind and soft-spoken politician" who changed the course of Indian history and impacted the lives of millions. His state funeral is being held on Saturday and India's government has announced an official mourning period of seven days.Despite an illustrious career - he was governor of India's central bank and federal finance minister before becoming a two-term prime minister - Singh never came across as a big-stage politician, lacking the public swagger of many of his peers.Though he gave interviews and held news conferences, especially in his first term as prime minister, he chose to stay quiet even when his government was mired in scandals or when his cabinet ministers faced corruption allegations.His gentlemanly ways were both deplored and adored in equal measure.ReutersSingh was known for leading India through a period of strong economic growthHis admirers said he was careful not to pick unnecessary battles or make lofty promises and that he focused on results - perhaps best exemplified by the pro-market reforms he ushered in as finance minister which opened India's economy to the world."I don't think anyone in India believes that Manmohan Singh can do something wrong or corrupt," his former colleague in the Congress party, Kapil Sibal, once said,. "He was extremely cautious, and he always wanted to be on the right side of the law."His opponents, on the other hand, mocked him, saying he exhibited a kind of fuzziness unsuitable for a politician, let alone the premier of a country of more than one billion people. His voice - husky and breathless, almost like a tired whisper - often became the butt of jokes.But the same voice was also endearing to many who found him relatable in a world of politics where high-pitched and high-octane speeches were the norm.Singh's image as a media-shy, unassuming, introverted politician never left him, even when his contemporaries, including his own party members, went through dramatic cycles of reinvention.Yet, it was the dignity with which he manoeuvred each situation - even the difficult ones - that made him so memorable.Born to a poor family in what is now Pakistan, Singh was India's first Sikh prime minister. His personal story - of a Cambridge and Oxford-educated economist who overcame insurmountable odds to rise up the ranks - coupled with his image of an honest and thoughtful leader, had already made him a hero to India's middle classes.But in 2005, he surprised everyone when he made a public apology in parliament for the 1984 riots in which around 3,000 Sikhs were killed.The riots, in which several Congress party members were accused, broke out after the assassination of then-prime minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. One of them later said they shot the Congress politician to avenge a military action she had ordered against separatists hiding in Sikhism's holiest temple in northern India's Amritsar.It was a bold move - no other prime minister, including from the Congress party, had gone so far as to offer an apology. But it provided a healing touch to the Sikh community and politicians across party lines respected him for the courageous act.ReutersSingh was often accused of being a 'puppet' of the Gandhis - a charge he denied A few years later, in 2008, Singh's understated style of leadership received more praise after he signed a landmark deal with the US that ended India's decades-long nuclear isolation, allowing India access to nuclear technology and fuel for the first time since it held tests in 1974.The deal was massively criticised by opposition leaders and Singh's own allies, who feared it would compromise India's foreign policy.

The funeral will take place at 11:45 am on 28th December 2024 at Nigambodh Ghat, New Delhi.”  Singh’s body will be kept at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters from 8:30 am to 9:30 am for people and Congress workers to pay their last respects. The final journey will begin at 9:30 am from the AICC headquarters to Nigambodh Ghat, Congress General Secretary K C Venugopal said.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was among the first to pay homage at Singh’s residence on Friday, called his passing a major loss for the nation. “Dr. Manmohan Singh’s death is a big loss. The country has lost an eminent statesman, renowned economist, and distinguished leader,” Modi said.  Draped in the Tricolour, Singh’s body was placed at his residence, 3 Motilal Nehru Road, where his family, including his wife Gursharan Kaur and daughters, were present. Several leaders, party workers, and the public paid their respects at the sprawling Lutyens’ Delhi bungalow that was Singh’s home for over a decade.  Singh, known as the architect of India’s economic reforms and a skilled consensus-builder in politics, passed away at AIIMS Delhi late Thursday night. The government has announced a seven-day State mourning as a mark of respect for the former prime minister.  Manmohan Singh is survived by his wife Gursharan Kaur and three daughters. His contributions as an economist and leader remain an integral part of India’s modern history.(With Inputs from Agencies) [ad_2] Source link
