The Hindu
M.K. Stalin criticizes BJP for denying Manmohan Singh's family last rites, calling it an insult to his legacy.
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday said the BJP government’s decision to deny former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s family the right to perform his last rites at a befitting site for his memorial is a direct insult to his towering legacy and the Sikh community.
“Refusing the family’s request and relegating a two-term Prime Minister to Nigambodh Ghat reeks of arrogance, bias, and a deliberate attempt to erase his immense contributions from public memory,” he said in a social media post.
“Dr. Manmohan Singh’s leadership transformed India’s economy and lifted millions out of poverty. To disrespect a statesman of his stature is to disrespect India’s progress itself. The stain of dishonouring great leaders never fades from history!,” Mr. Stalin said.
