The opposition blamed the “casual” approach of the BJP-led government in Maharashtra for the goof-up at an event to mark the death anniversary of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru.
The photos of the three martyrs were prominently displayed but in a major goof-up, the photo labelled Sukhdev was that of Bhagat Singh.
“Those in power now have nothing to do with martyrs and the glorious history of our freedom struggle,” NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said.
These kind of goof-ups will continue to happen as solemn events like ‘shaheed diwas’ are treated in a “casual manner” by this government, Malik said.
Action should be taken not only against the official concerned but also higher-ups, he said.
