Former PM Manmohan Singh's Shayari banter with Sushma Swaraj in Parliament | Watch

Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has passed away. He breathed his last at 9:51 PM on Thursday, December 26, at AIIMS in Delhi, after a prolonged battle with heart and respiratory issues. Dr. Singh was likely one of the last leaders to engage in intellectual debates with his political adversaries, using wit, humor, and reason rather than resorting to harsh and inflammatory rhetoric. One such memorable moment from his life, captured by Parliament’s cameras in 2011, has recently gone viral. During this moment, Opposition leader Sushma Swaraj criticized the Prime Minister by quoting lines from Shahab Jafri: "tu idhar udhar ki na baat kar ye bata ki kaafila kyon luta..." Unfazed, Dr. Singh responded with a poetic retort from Allama Iqbal: "Maana ki teri deed ke qaabil nahin hoon main. tu mera shauq dekh mera intezaar dekh [I accept that I am not worthy of your sight, but look at my passion and my waiting]." #manmohansingh #sushmaswaraj #formerpm Subscribe: https://bit.ly/moneycontrolyoutube Follow us: Visit https://www.moneycontrol.com/ Facebook:   / moneycontrol   Twitter:   / moneycontrolcom   Instagram:   / moneycontrolcom
