The country will always remember Manmohan Singh Ji for taking India forward in the direction of globalization by getting it out of the economic crisis in 1991.
The country will be indebted to Manmohan Singh Ji for his contribution in making India a nuclear super power.
Your journey from an ordinary family to reaching the post of Prime Minister is a source of inspiration for everyone. Maintaining political correctness despite all the personal attacks was the biggest feature of your simple and gentle behaviour.
The void left in Indian politics by your departure will never be filled. I express my condolences to the family of Dr. Manmohan Singh in this difficult time.”
