Manmohan Singh dies: PM Modi pays tribute, says ‘not ordinary to lose so much in Partition and achieve a lot in life’

Live Mint  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid a heartfelt tribute to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in a speech on Friday. PM Modi said, “It is not ordinary to lose so much in Partition, come to India and achieve a lot in various aspects of life…His life teaches us how to rise above struggles and reach greater heights, and this lesson will continue to guide future generations.” "His life teaches the future generation how to rise above poverty and struggles and achieve heights. He hailed Singh as a “distinguished parliamentarian” and said his “life was reflection of his honesty, simplicity.” The Prime Minister further recalled the day when Manmohan Singh, weak and fragile, came to the Rajya Sabha on a wheelchair to exercise his voting right. PM Modi also recalled his meetings with Manmohan Singh when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
