Central government will build Manmohan Singh’s memorial, Amit Shah himself informed Kharge and the former PM’s family

New Delhi. The Central government has decided to build a memorial in the national capital in memory of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. This information was given by the Union Home Ministry. Issuing a press release, the Home Ministry said that on Friday morning the government received a request from the Congress Party President to allocate space for the memorial of former Prime Minister late Dr. Manmohan Singh.

Soon after the cabinet meeting, Home Minister Amit Shah told Congress President Kharge and the family of late Dr. Manmohan Singh that the government will allocate space for the memorial. Meanwhile, cremation and other formalities can be completed, as a trust is to be formed and space is to be allotted for it.

Dr. Manmohan Singh, who was the head of the Congress-led UPA government and is known for economic reforms, died on Thursday at the age of 92. He led the country for 10 years as the Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014.

Congress made these allegations
Congress on Friday alleged that not deciding the place for Manmohan Singh’s funeral and memorial is a deliberate insult to the country’s first Sikh Prime Minister. Congress raised this issue when the Union Home Ministry said in its statement that Manmohan Singh’s funeral will be held with full state honors at Delhi’s Nigambodh Ghat on Saturday at 11:45 am.

Jairam Ramesh had written a post on X
Let us tell you that Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had tweeted on Friday and accused the central government of adopting a disrespectful attitude towards former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. He wrote, “This morning the Congress President wrote a letter to the Prime Minister proposing that Dr. Manmohan Singh’s funeral be held at a place where a memorial can be built to honor his legacy.” Jairam Ramesh raised the question, “The people of our country are unable to understand why the Government of India has not been able to decide on a place for the funeral and memorial of Dr. Manmohan Singh in accordance with his global stature, outstanding achievements and decades of service to the nation.”
