BJP National Spokesperson CR Kesavan on Saturday critisied the Congress, accusing it of "unsuccessfully trying to politicise the demise of Dr Manmohan Singh," ANI reported.

"The Congress is unsuccessfully trying to politicise the demise of Dr Manmohan Singh. They should remember the deadly 1984 riots in which our Sikh brothers and sisters were massacred under their watch," Kesavan told ANI.
