NEW DELHI: The BJP on Saturday launched a strong counterattack against the Congress over allegations of disrespect during former prime minister Manmohan Singh's funeral, with party president JP Nadda accusing both former and current Congress presidents of politicising the death.
The response came after Congress leaders alleged protocol breaches and poor arrangements at Singh's funeral at Nigambodh Ghat, with the party expressing its anger over the last rites not being carried out at what can be turned into a dedicated memorial site.
"This is the same Congress that tarnished the dignity of the Prime Minister's office by placing Sonia Gandhi as a super Prime Minister above PM Manmohan Singh," Nadda said, accusing the Congress of failing to show respect to Singh while he was alive.
