    Rest in peace dear Prime Minister. He was a true statesman and faced the media with an open mind. Yet the movie accidental prime minister came out with imaginary stories which is an insult to India and most importantly the Prime Minister himself. It is unfortunate this was allowed in the guise of free speech for a political agenda. A Prime Minster present or past must not be allowed to become victims of such false narrative. India today is strong because of the seeds of growth Dr. Manmohan Singh sowed. Not like the current finance minister who finds every opportunity to tax the common man.

    Om Shanthi! . Manmohan Singh the discovery of Narsimha Rao and PC Alexander. However, Gandhi family had exploited his good nature and gentlemanship. Now they 'remember' him.
