PM Modi on Manmohan Singh: A life will serve as lesson to coming generations
The HinduPrime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday described his predecessor Manmohan Singh 's death as a big loss to the nation, lauding his rise from a humble background to occupy some of the most important positions in the country. Mr. Modi said, “As Prime Minister, his contribution to the country’s development and progress will always be remembered.” He was also effusive in praising Singh’s personal virtues, noting that his life was a reflection of his honesty and simplicity. Mr. Modi said despite being educated at the world’s prestigious institutes and occupying leading positions, the former prime minister and Congress leader never forgot the values of his normal background. Dr. Singh rose above partisan politics to remain accessible to everyone, Mr. Modi said and recalled that he would often have discussions with him on numerous national and international issues when the Congress leader was prime minister during 2004-14 and he was the Gujarat chief minister. When he became Prime Minister in 2014, Mr. Modi said he would speak to him, noting that they had spoken on Dr. Singh’s birthday.
