'History will remember him kindly': Sonia writes on Manmohan Singh after SC clean chit
Days after the Supreme Court acquitted former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the coal block allocation case, senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi highlighted his legacy of integrity and contrasted it with the Modi government's actions. Sonia emphasized that history would remember Singh as a quiet and consequential prime minister, pointing out that the Modi government had been guilty of slandering Singh and using agencies to pressure politicians.
The Congress party chairperson also criticized the BJP for its role in Singh's witch-hunt, which involved coordination from the bureaucracy, media, judiciary, civil society, and the RSS. Sonia highlighted Singh's economic achievements, including economic growth, resilience during the 2008 global financial crisis, and welfare initiatives like Right to Education and MGNREGA.
She also praised the National Food Security Act and the landmark Indo-US nuclear deal. Sonia concluded by stating that history would indeed remember Singh kindly as a consequential prime minister.
