CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh was cremated with full state honors at Nigambodh Ghat in Delhi. However, Rahul Gandhi, senior Congress leader, expressed strong criticism of the current government, stating that Dr. Singh was “totally insulted by the present government” during the cremation proceedings. His remarks have sparked significant debate and drawn attention to the treatment of one of India’s most respected leaders.
Rahul Gandhi was present throughout the funeral and accompanied Dr. Singh’s mortal remains during the final journey from the Congress headquarters to Nigambodh Ghat. He, along with Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and other senior Congress leaders, paid heartfelt tributes to the late leader. Dr. Singh’s iconic blue turban, which symbolized his Cambridge University connection, was a poignant feature of the ceremony.
Despite the full state honors, Rahul Gandhi’s comments highlight perceived lapses in the government’s approach to honoring Dr. Singh. The statement has ignited political discourse, with Congress supporters and critics voicing their opinions. Dr. Manmohan Singh, remembered for his economic reforms and two-term tenure as Prime Minister, leaves behind a legacy of humility, intellect, and service to the nation.
