"This won't have taken place had your conscience been alive," said hymn singer from stage, minutes after Kamal Nath had left after being honoured
Congress leader Kamal Nath being honoured at a Guru Nanak Jayanti event in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, angered the main hymn singer, Manpreet Singh Kanpuri, who slammed the organisers from the stage over inviting the former chief minister who is accused of a role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi.
“This won't have taken place had your conscience been alive,” Mr Kanpuri says in a video from the November 8 event at Khalsa College, minutes after Kamal Nath had left.
An organiser seeks to clarify: “We haven't given him a kesari siropa (saffron robe of honour). Only a memento was given. That's the tradition here.”
The raagi retorts: “You are speaking now. Where were you earlier? You should introspect. Look what you've done. I am going to complete my task now, and will never come to Indore again.”
