Hours after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi dubbed the revamp of the Jallianwala Bagh memorial an "insult to martyrs", Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh appeared to praise the makeover, saying it looked "very nice" to him.

He, however, said he does not know what has been removed from the complex during the renovation of the memorial. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had digitally dedicated the renovated complex of the Jallianwala Bagh memorial to the nation on August 28. Punjab Chief Minister Singh too had attended the function through video conference.
