According to News18 report, Congress spokesperson Zishan slammed BJP and said that the party should understand such events are not a mere photo opportunity. The Samajwadi Party also reacted sharply and called it an insensitive act.
Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Congress leader Narayan Dutt Tiwari passed away at the age of 93 on October 18 at a private hospital in the national capital. Tragically, the 93-year-old leader who had also served as governor of Andhra Pradesh and a Union minister died on his birthday.
