Gandhi described Singh as a statesman who upheld India’s democratic values, economic stability, and global reputation during his tenure. Addressing mourners, he said Singh’s contributions to the nation were unparalleled, from pioneering economic reforms to ensuring inclusive development.
The Congress leader expressed disappointment with the government for failing to honor Singh appropriately, claiming he was insulted during his later years despite his immense contributions. Gandhi urged the nation to remember Singh’s humility, wisdom, and dedication to public service.
The solemn ceremony witnessed political leaders, dignitaries, and citizens paying their respects. Rahul Gandhi emphasized the need to uphold the principles Singh stood for, calling on the younger generation to learn from his legacy.
