Mulayam Singh Yadav Funeral To Be Held In Saifai Village On Tuesday — Details

Mulayam Singh Yadav Funeral: "Tomorrow, the funeral of Netaji will be held in Saifai at 3 pm," SP said.

Mulayam Singh Yadav, the founder of the Samajwadi Party (SP), last rites will be held on Tuesday at approximately 3 pm in Saifai village, his hometown in the Etawah district, the party said in an issued statement. The funeral proceedings will be held with state honours, the Uttar Pradesh government announced earlier.

Former Uttar Pradesh CM died Monday in Medanta hospital in Gurugram, where he was undergoing treatment. Mulayam, 82, was admitted to the hospital in August, was shifted to ICU on October 2 and was on lifesaving drugs since. According to hospital sources, he breathed his last at 8.15 a.m. on Monday.

Taking to Twitter, SP stated: "Respected Netaji passed away today morning on 10/10/2022 at Medanta Hospital, Gurugram. His body is being taken to Saifai. Tomorrow, on 11/10/2022, the funeral will be held in Saifai at 3 pm."

To attend the funeral services for Mulayam Singh Yadav, defence minister Rajnath Singh will go to Saifai, ANI reported.

The 82-year-old Samajwadi Party patriarch was facing difficulty in breathing and was under the supervision of an internal medicine expert at the Medanta Hospital, as per sources. Singh was suffering from a urinary infection as well, hospital sources had said.

Mulayam Singh Yadav was elected as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister three times — from 1989 to 1991, 1993 to 1995, and 2003 to 2007.

From 1996 to 1998, Mulayam Singh was also the Union defence minister.
