Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has written to PM Narendra Modi, requesting a dedicated memorial space for former PM Manmohan Singh, who passed away at 92. Singh’s funeral is scheduled for December 28, but the Centre has not yet responded to the appeal. Kharge emphasized Singh's legacy as a statesman and urged the government to honor him with a sacrosanct venue. The Congress-led UPA previously established Rashtriya Smriti Sthal as a common memorial in 2013, restricting separate sites. The demand underscores the need to honor Singh’s contributions, much like the belated memorial for P.V. Narasimha Rao, granted under Modi's tenure.
