‘This issue is not of any party, but of the history of the country’
Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu said, ‘When a person leaves, all the enmity with him disappears, but politics is happening here. I ask a small question that if Atal ji’s last rites were to be held and someone said that it will not be held at Raj Ghat, the memorial will not be built there, but it will be built somewhere else, then how would you have felt? This issue is not about any party but about the history of the country. This person was special, he was a living history. Knowing what is right and not doing it is cowardice. Must have a big heart.’
