Congress politicising former PM’s demise

HYDERABAD: Union Coal & Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy on Monday slammed the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders for trying to politicise the funeral of former prime minister Manmohan Singh.

Addressing the media at the party office here, he alleged that the nation is disappointed and disheartened by the attempts of Sonia Gandhi’s family and Congress leaders to politicise the funeral of the former PM.

“Manmohan Singh was deeply respected by all Indians. The Congress leaders’ words and actions are shameful and reflect their lack of integrity,” he said.
