  • The Congress on Saturday intensified its attack on the Union government over the handling of former prime minister Manmohan Singh's funeral at Nigambodh Ghat

The article from MSN discusses the Congress party's criticism of the Indian government regarding the funeral arrangements for former Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal. The Congress party accused the government of showing "utter disrespect" towards Badal by not providing adequate arrangements for his funeral, which they claim did not match the dignity and respect due to a leader of his stature. They highlighted issues such as the lack of proper protocol, insufficient security, and the absence of senior government officials at the funeral. The Congress leaders expressed their disappointment over what they perceive as a lack of recognition for Badal's contributions to the nation, especially given his long political career and the respect he commanded across party lines. This has sparked a political controversy, with the Congress demanding an apology from the government for the perceived lapses in protocol and respect.
