New Delhi. The issue of insulting late Manmohan Singh is still hot. Now BJP has hit back at Congress by raising the issue of insulting former PM Manmohan Singh. BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa, while talking to news channel Aaj Tak, said that he was disappointed not to see anyone from Congress or Gandhi family at the immersion of Manmohan Singh’s ashes. Manjinder Singh Sirsa said that the leader who served the country with honor deserved better respect than his party. Sirsa said that this tells a lot about the priorities of the Gandhi family and the Congress. At the same time, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri raised this issue in an interview with English channel Times Now. Hardeep Singh Puri said that those who were present at the funeral of late Manmohan Singh with cameras till yesterday, where were they today?
What were they (Congress) doing when he was a PM?…I have a personal story that he was so upset that he (Dr. Manmohan Singh) wanted to resign, and that is what we called an indignity…: Union Minister @HardeepSPuri in conversation with @navikakumar pic.twitter.com/dYI8xN3hQt

In fact, since the death of Manmohan Singh, Congress has been raising the issue of insulting him. Congress first made it an issue that the Modi government at the Center insulted the former PM by not giving him land for his memorial. At the same time, Congress had also raised the issue of not making proper arrangements for the last rites of Manmohan Singh at Nigambodh Ghat in Delhi on Saturday and not making seating arrangements for the family members. Congress leaders also alleged that PM Modi was sitting when the army personnel were saluting the mortal remains of Manmohan Singh. Congress leaders shared videos in which Rahul Gandhi was shown crying and giving shoulder to Manmohan Singh. Now BJP has hit back and accused Congress of insulting Manmohan Singh.
At the same time, even though no Congress leader was seen in the immersion of Manmohan Singh’s ashes, Congress shared the video on social media platform Ji’s ashes were immersed with full rituals at the Yamuna Ghat near the Gurudwara located at Majnu Ka Tila. We all will always remember Manmohan Singh ji’s service to the country, dedication and his simplicity. Now everyone’s eyes are on how the former PM’s party responds to the allegations that Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Hardeep Singh Puri have made on Congress of insulting Manmohan Singh.
