"History Will Remember Him Kindly": Sonia Gandhi Hails Manmohan Singh's Legacy After SC Relief in Coal Case
Sonia Gandhi said the ruling vindicates Manmohan Singh and accused the Modi government of misusing the Central Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Directorate.
- On Tuesday, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi defended former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, stating his record stands in stark contrast to the current administration following the Supreme Court's July 29, 2026, decision to close the coal block allocation case.
- Gandhi described the criminal case as a "witch-hunt against Dr. Singh," noting the ruling concludes a tragic arc in public discourse involving coordinated institutional efforts to undermine his integrity.
- Emphasizing his governing record, Gandhi cited the 10 years of UPA leadership, noting "the 10 years of the UPA government saw higher economic growth than the past 12 years," while delivering Right to Education and MGNREGA programs.
- In a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi argued the government misuses the CBI to pressure opponents, asserting Modi's 2017 "snide and atrocious remarks" regarding Singh remain a parliamentary low point.
- Gandhi stated that history will indeed remember Singh "kindly as a quiet, gentle but a most consequential prime minister," expressing solace that his wisdom continues to guide the nation despite his December 2024 death.
