Senior Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien on Monday accused the BJP of reducing the National War Memorial (NWM) inauguration event into a political rally and "disrespecting" the uniform.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the NWM, adjoining the iconic India Gate complex in the heart of the capital, nearly 60 years after it was mooted to honour the fallen soldiers after Independence.
O'Brien, the TMC national spokesperson, in a statement, said, "The National War Memorial was turned into a political rally. That's called disrespecting the uniform."
