Former Congress leader Sonia Gandhi hailed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of him in the coal block allocation case. Gandhi described Singh's record as one of integrity, accountability and a consequential prime minister, contrasting it with the Modi-led government's approach to corruption allegations.
She accused the current government of being "forgiving" of Modi's remarks against Singh and called the case a "witch hunt" against a man of "remarkable probity and integrity". Gandhi also criticized the Modi government for disregarding credible corruption accusations and making adverse observations against Singh for no "compelling reason".
She praised Singh's governance, highlighting major economic changes during his tenure and his engagement with the media and Parliament. Gandhi described the Supreme Court's judgment as an "important but unacknowledged day" in India's recent political history, calling it an end to a "bogus crusade" against Singh.
