Manmohan Singh always acted on 'Nation First'; didn't go to Pakistan as he felt it wasn't right: Sachin Pilot
Former prime minister Manmohan Singh always acted on the principle of 'Nation First' in his long political career and did not visit Pakistan during his prime ministerial tenure as he felt it was not right, senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot said on Thursday. Pilot said the list of those who went to Pakistan is long and includes the likes of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former deputy PM LK Advani and current PM Narendra Modi, but does not include Singh and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi. He made the remarks at an event at the India Islamic Cultural Centre in remembrance of Manmohan Singh, where the likes of former deputy chairman of the Planning Commission, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Congress leader Rajiv Shukla, ex-MP Shahid Siddiqui and media advisor to Singh, Pankaj Pachauri, spoke. Singh's daughter and historian Upinder Singh, and IICC President and former Union Minister Salman Khurshid were also present on the occasion. Pilot said a lot of credit for India emerging as a nuclear power goes to Singh because he took a political stand and risked his government for the nuclear agreement with the US, because he thought it was best for the country. "Rajiv (Shukla) ji said he (Singh) could not go to Pakistan, visit his village, who was stopping him? Many times invitation would have come, but he did not go because he felt that it was not right to go," Pilot, who served as a minister in Singh's UPA-II government, said. "Who all went to Pakistan? I don't want to go into that in detail, as it is a long list. Advani ji went, Vajpayee ji went, Modi ji went, but Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh are not there on that list. It is easy to say 'Nation First' but very difficult to act upon, and Dr Singh did in his long political career," Pilot said. He said Singh treated him as an equal member of the team when he was a junior minister. "It was such a privilege to work with a person who treated you as an equal member of the team. If PM gives so much space and respects other people's views, it gives a different message," he said. Pilot said people should also not forget that socialist policies were introduced during his tenure, such as the loan waiver, MGNREGA and poverty alleviation. "These days, we are seeing what has come of the so-called scams and talk of presumptive loss. The whole country is seeing what he did as a nationalist," he said. Pilot recalled Singh's remarks on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and asked which PM had courage to say 'I hang my head in shame' and that this should not have happened. In his remarks, Shukla said Singh took action against Pakistan in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks, but did not propagate it. Pachauri said he never used to bring religion into the work of the country. Singh, 92, passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences here on December 26, 2024. He was the PM for two terms in the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government from 2004 to 2014. As finance minister under former Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao, he was the architect of economic reforms in 1991 that changed the course of India's economic trajectory.

Indian diaspora provides key link between India and Saudi Arabia, says former foreign minister
RIYADH: Salman Khurshid, president of the India Islamic Cultural Center and his country's former foreign minister, said Indians living and working in Saudi Arabia play a key role in relations between the two countries. He added that he and his team are working on implementing changes and reforms at the cultural center to improve the support and services it provides for all Indians, not only in India but in other countries. Khurshid, who was elected president of the center in August last year, was visiting Riyadh for an event on Friday during which he discussed with Indian expatriates their experiences of living and working in the Kingdom. 'I am in here to interact with the Indian community and discuss the ground realities,' he said. 'They are keen to know about the developments in India. 'I am very pleased that the IICC is in focus, people are looking at what possibilities there are, and how much we can develop the organization as a hub that links different parts in the world and connects with how important it is for that dimension of the Indian culture and the Indian society to be understood in the world. 'The Indian diaspora in Saudi Arabia can provide an important bridge between the people of India and the people of Saudi Arabia, and this has been an important aspect for successive governments in India. 'We will brainstorm on key issues and ground realities, we will talk about those issues and what positive contribution can be made by people who have left their homes and families to come out into the world and make a mark with their presence here in the Kingdom.' Prime Minister Indira Gandhi laid the foundation stone of the center's headquarters in New Delhi on Aug. 24, 1984. The aim of the organization was to promote understanding among people of different religions and aid the cause of national integration. It was inaugurated by Congress party president Sonia Gandhi on June 12, 2006. Regarding possible changes and development of the organization, Khurshid said there are plans to establish branches in states across India, and beyond, to support the decentralization and democratization of the center. 'It's not just about chapters in different parts of India but also in other countries, as IICC overseas chapters, (for example) in Saudi Arabia,' he added. 'My view is that there should be chapters and we should support those chapters, but if people want fully fledged centers to be set up in states, I would say they should be affiliated centers supported by local members. Members from Delhi cannot control centers in the states, it must be truly democratic.' Khurshid was joined at Friday's event by Akhtarul Iman, president of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen party, who represents the constituency of Amour in the Bihar Legislative Assembly. He said it is the responsibility of the government and state authorities to protect the lives, property, honor and safety of all Indian citizens, yet Muslims have increasingly been targeted by those who wish to spread fear among them. In the past decade, he added, there has been an increase in cases of injustice and atrocities committed against Muslims under the rule of Bharatiya Janata Party-led central and state governments, and the leaderships of both the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Janata Dal (United) parties have also failed to address these issues in an appropriate manner. 'They ask Muslims for support but fail to address their concerns,' Iman said, adding that his party is committed to ensuring that the grievances of all Indian Muslims who have faced problems since 2014 are addressed.
