The sources further said the decision on the memorial has been conveyed to the Congress, but added that it will take a few days to find an appropriate venue for building a memorial. “The government’s decision to build a memorial in honor of Manmohan Singh has been conveyed to the Congress. But they have engaged in politics over the issue,” a government source said.
Manmohan Singh, who headed the Congress-led UPA government and is credited with economic reforms, passed away on Thursday at 92. He was India’s Prime Minister for 10 years between 2004 and 2014. (Maxim News)
