NEW DELHI: Congress on Friday slammed Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya for allegedly getting a photographer while visiting former PM
Manmohan Singh at the
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, saying that for
BJP everything is about a “photo op”.
The party also demanded that the health minister apologise. Congress’ attack came after former PM
Manmohan Singh’s daughter, Daman Singh, accused Mandaviya of getting a photographer against the wishes of the family.
Daman Singh said her mother was very upset because a photographer had entered the room along with Mandaviya, but when she insisted that the photographer leave the room, “she was completely ignored”. “She was very upset. My parents are trying to cope in a difficult situation. They are elderly people. Not animals in a zoo,” Daman Singh said.
