BJP has insulted Sikh community by denying space at Rajghat for former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh’s funeral: Sanjay Singh

  • December 28, 2024

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has launched a sharp attack on the BJP for not allocating space at the Rajghat complex for the funeral of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Senior AAP leader and MP Sanjay Singh stated that by denying space at Rajghat for Dr. Manmohan Singh’s funeral, the BJP has insulted the Sikh community.

The AAP MP pointed out that almost all former Prime Ministers of the country have been cremated at Rajghat. The discrimination against Dr. Manmohan Singh reflects the mindset of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Can PM Modi name a single former Prime Minister whose funeral was held at Nigambodh Ghat?” he asked.

Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP, Sanjay Singh, expressed his dismay stating, “It is deeply regrettable that we even have to discuss such an issue. This shows how narrow and petty the government’s mindset is. I want to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Dr. Manmohan Singh was a great economist respected worldwide. As India’s Prime Minister, he devoted ten years of his life to the country’s progress. Why this disrespect toward him?”

He further stated that Dr. Manmohan Singh was the only Prime Minister of India to come from the Sikh community and noted that, until then, almost all former Prime Ministers of the country had been cremated within the Rajghat complex. He said, “However, the BJP is unwilling to allocate space at Rajghat for Dr. Manmohan Singh’s funeral. This reflects the BJP’s mindset. They call themselves a party of values and claim to be the largest political party in the world. They may be the largest party, but their mindset is the smallest.”

Sanjay Singh expressed his disappointment and sadness, saying, “This decision has brought shame to every individual living in India and across the globe. What kind of behavior is this from the Modi government? They are refusing to provide space in the Rajghat complex for a former Prime Minister. Can they name a single former Prime Minister whose funeral was conducted at Nigambodh Ghat? Be it Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Rajiv Gandhi, or Indira Gandhi — all were cremated at Rajghat.”

Sanjay Singh further questioned, “Why is this discrimination happening? This reflects that the so-called largest party in the world has the smallest mindset and the smallest heart. It exposes the thinking of the BJP and Prime Minister Modi. Dr. Manmohan Singh is the only Prime Minister from the Sikh community.”

The AAP MP stated that the decision would likely insult the people of Punjab and the Sikh community worldwide. He added that the 1.44 billion people of the country, who have faith in the democratic system and value Dr. Manmohan Singh’s contributions, must also feel deeply hurt.

Sanjay Singh further highlighted, “Today, the global headlines will highlight that India has a government that is unwilling to provide space within the Rajghat complex for its former Prime Minister. The government is refusing to respect the family’s wishes for his funeral. This is highly unfortunate.”

Senior AAP leader and Cabinet Minister, Saurabh Bharadwaj, expressed his shock, saying, “I am stunned to hear that Dr. Manmohan Singh, who served as the Prime Minister of this country for ten years and is regarded globally as a scholar. His economic policies are studied in universities worldwide. He saved the nation from economic crises and led India forward during liberalization.”

“And yet, the funeral of a Prime Minister from the Sikh community is being conducted at Nigambodh Ghat? Nigambodh Ghat for Dr. Manmohan Singh? Has our nation’s politics stooped so low that the central government cannot allocate even a thousand square yards of land in Delhi for a learned former Prime Minister? This is disgraceful. Such matters should not be politicised,” Saurabh Bharadwaj stated.

Raghav Chadha speech in Parliament on issues plagu Raghav Chadha speech in Parliament on issues plaguing our Aviation sector. 

From the moment a passenger enters an airport to the moment they leave it after their journey, India’s aviation experience is anything but a smooth landing. 

Sky-high ticket prices, endless delays, unaffordable food, exorbitant baggage charges and poor air connectivity - travel leaves a common man’s budget in turbulence.

He urged the Hon’ble Union Civil Aviation Minister to address these pressing challenges faced by air-passengers.
Delhi has become crime capital

नेब सराय के एक ही घर में तीन हत्याएं…. हर रोज़ दिल्लीवासियों की सुबह ऐसी ही डरावनी खबरों के साथ हो रही है। 

अपराधियों को खुली छूट मिली हुई है, कानून-व्यवस्था ध्वस्त हो चुकी है।

 घर के घर बर्बाद हो रहे हैं, मासूम ज़िंदगियाँ जा रही हैं। और जिनकी ज़िम्मेदारी है वो लोग चुपचाप ये सब होते देख रहे हैं। 

क्या BJP सरकार ऐसे ही चुप्पी साध के दिल्ली की क़ानून व्यवस्था को दम तोड़ते देखती रहेगी? 

क्या BJP यही कहेगी कि दिल्ली में क्राइम कोई मुद्दा नहीं है?

Air Pollution केवल दिल्ली का नहीं बल्कि देश का मुद्दा है‼️

👉 किसान देश का पेट पालता है और वह मजबूरन पराली जलाता है। किसान को प्रदूषण के लिए दोषी ठहराना सरासर ग़लत है

👉 पंजाब में AAP सरकार के सहयोग से किसानों ने पराली जलाने को काफ़ी कम कर दिया है 

👉 लेकिन UP, हरियाणा और MP में पराली जलाए जाने की घटनाएँ बढ़ती जा रही हैं

पराली जलाने से किसानों को कैसे रोका जा सकता है, AAP सांसद raghav_chadha ने बताया👇
INDIA गठबंधन के नेताओं INDIA गठबंधन के नेताओं ने अडानी के घोटालों के खिलाफ संसद परिसर में प्रदर्शन किया। 

मोदी सरकार अडानी के मामले पर चर्चा से भाग रही है।
कल रात मंगोलपुरी में भी सरेआम एक व्यक्ति की गोली मारकर हत्या कर दी गई। परसों दिल्ली में तीन मर्डर हुए थे। 

क्राइम के ख़िलाफ़ सभी दिल्ली वालों को एकजुट होकर आवाज़ उठानी होगी। सबसे ज़रूरी अपनी और अपने परिवार की सुरक्षा है।
