“In Dr Manmohan Singh's passing, we have lost a leader who was the epitome of wisdom, nobility and humility, who served our country with all his heart and mind. A luminous and beloved guiding light for the Congress party, his compassion and vision transformed and empowered the lives of millions of Indians.”
She reiterated Dr. Manmohan Singh’s contributions in the country's progress and said that his passing away leaves behind a void in our national lives that can never be filled.
