In a late-night decision, the Centre approved a memorial for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh following Congress’s demands. The Congress had criticized the initial denial, with leader Jairam Ramesh calling it a "deliberate insult" to India's first Sikh PM. After discussions, Union Home Minister Amit Shah conveyed the approval to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. The cremation will take place at Nigambodh Ghat, New Delhi, today at 11:45 am. BJP countered Congress's accusations, pointing out their lack of a memorial for PV Narasimha Rao. The memorial’s location and details will follow after land allocation and trust formation.
