Sardar Man Mohan Singh
Numerous tributes had been paid to Dr. Manmohan Singh, Finance Minister (1991-96) and Prime Minister (2004-14) in the government of Bharat. Of course, he deserved all praise for the excellent job that he did in both the capacities he worked. He was no doubt an economist of high caliber . However, inspite of his magnificent economic knowledge, like Amartya Sen he did not get a Nobel prize. In addition to eminent persons, and his party men the Prime Minister of India, Sri Narendra Modi paid respects and tributes. The Legislative Assembly of the Telangana State held a special session ( Dec 24, 2024) eulogizing his services paying him respect and demanding of the GOI to honour him with the highest Indian award , Bharat Ratna. The Sonia family of Mother- son -daughter and the Congress President ( nominal) Sri Mallikarjun Kharge also showered encomiums upon Man Mohan Singh. There may not be a single Indian who would say that Man Mohan Singh does not deserve all the praise and tributes being showered upon him post his death.
2. But at the risk of being labelled a blasphemous comment let us see in what circumstances and under whose direction and protection Man Mohan Singh accomplished what is being attributed to him.
3. Can a Finance Minister on his own and without the full backing of the Prime Minister and the cabinet devalue the Indian rupee, transfer the gold deposits held by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to bankers in London to get loans of foreign exchange? Can a Finance Minister without this approval of the Prime Minister dismantle the permit-license-quota raj, fashion by the late Jawaharlal Nehru describing it as “socialistic” pattern of India with a measly annual GDP growth of 3.3%, pejoratively described as “Hindu rate” of growth while the population was growing at 2.2% per annum and therefore the GDP only at 1.1% growth . The fact is Sri P V Narasimha Rao, Prime Minister (1991-96) very wisely and boldly decided that unless there was a radical departure from Nehruvian socialism, characterized by permit-license-quota raj was dismantled and the Indian economy freed from the shackles of illusive socialism as the socialist pattern for society of Nehru’s conception.
When Manmohan Singh was made the Finance Minister was inducted into the Rajya Sabha on election from the Legislative Assembly of Assam describing the Sardar as a resident of Assam in Guwahati, a patently false declaration just to get elected in the Rajya Sabha . Sri Manmohan Singh was defeated in the election to the Lok Sabha in 1999 from the South Delhi constituency. His defeat cannot detract from his intellectual and professional excellence as economist. Even the great Dr Ambedkar was defeated in his bid for election to the Lok Sabha first in 1951-52 from north Bombay constituency and again in 1954 in a by -election from Bhandara in Maharashtra . On both these occasions it is as well to remember the Nehru Congress in association with the communists led by worked hard to defeat Dr Ambedkar by a Congress- man, Narayan Sadoba Kajrolkar , a milk vendor who was given Padma Bhushan award in 1970 for the feat of defeating a giant intellectual Dr Ambedkar.
4. Since Dr Manmohan Singh was a great economist, with great experience of governorship of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) 1982-85, he did a marvelous job as the Finance Minister under the illustrious Prime Ministership of P V Narasimha Rao. It was this Prime Minister who took the very bold decision of doing away with Nehruvian socialism to the discomfiture of many a Nehru loyalists including Sonia Maino Gandhi, smarting and projected irrelevance post Rajiv Gandhi’s sad assassination Finance Minister Man Mohan Singh gave Rs. 100 cr of our money.
Between 1996-2004 Dr Man Mohan Singh was merely a Rajya Sabha member elected from Assam State Legislature and Leader Of The Opposition (1998-2004) as the Congress member in the Rajya Sabha .
Rajiv Gandhi Foundation / Trust to be under Sonia Gandhi and her sycophants as Trustees. That under Rajiv Gandhi Prime Ministership 3500 Sikhs in and around Delhi were massacred did not deter him from giving Rs. 100 cr to his ------------
5. Now let us consider his Prime Ministership during 2004-14 . Left to himself Congress men without the direction and sanction of Sonia Maino Gandhi would have elected him as leader of the Congress Parliamentary party and made him the Prime Minister. He was not a party man. It was without doubt the nominee by Smt. Sonia he became the Prime Minister. The policies that the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Man Mohan Singh as the Prime Minister were largely decided by Sonia Maino Gandhi at the head of the National Advisory Council (NAC) a totally extra- constitutional body in which a notorious Harsh Mander the anti-Hindu, a Christian evangelist and the populist economics purveyor Jean Dreze were members . The policy decisions regarding for instance waiver of farmer’s loans ( over Rs. 75,000 cr); the enactment of the laws like Right to Information (RTI); Right to Education (RTE); (MNREG) - Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme were all at the direction of Sonia Maino Gandhi who headed the NAC. These were all good legislations in partial implementation of the Directive Principles in Part-IV of our Constitution. In the RTE characteristic of the Christian bias , the minority educational institutions are exempted from the obligatory admission of the children of poor people free of school fees.
6. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as nominee of Sonia Maino Gandhi accomplished the following anti-Hindu, non-secular abominable actions:
· In the year 2006 his government created the Ministry of Minority Affairs with Abdul Rahman Antuley as the Cabinet Minister. It is only during the BJP-led NDA rule since 2014 that non-Muslims , minority persons like Smt. Smriti Irani, a Parsi and Sri Kiren Rijiju, a Buddhist from Arunachal Pradesh are appointed .
· Most subversive of the constitutional imperative of India as a secular state, the National Waqf Development Corporation was created on 31-12-2013 with Rs. 375 cr later raised to Rs. 875 cr to develop waqf properties in India . The revenues of which will be used solely for the welfare of Muslims according to Sharia Law. This is an outrage on the Constitution and it is a wonder why it is continuing and why it was not taken to the Supreme Court with a demand for its nationalization.
· At the direction of the NAC the Sachar Committee was appointed to go into the conditions of Muslims . The committee identified more than 80 spread all over Inda as intensely Muslim population for their adverse benefit the Manmohan government launched the Muslim First ( claim upon the resources of India) programs and several lakhs of crores of rupees were spent for the benefit of Muslims - thousands of scholarships , a variety of welfare schemes drive to recruit Muslims in government jobs . In an account of the special measures that were taken for advancement of Muslims was given at a national conference of the Ministers of Minority Welfare convened by the Dr Man Mohan Singh, Prime Minister on 7 & 8 June 2012 at Vignan Bhavan in New Delhi .
· A law was drafted to be introduced in the Parliament which ensures the Hindu organizations and Hindus to be primarily responsible for all communal riots . A bill, Communal Violence (Prevention, Control and Short title, extent S Rehabilitation of Victims) Act 2005 drafted by the UPA government. It extends to the whole of India except the State of Jammu and Kashmir. It holds presumptively Hindus and Hindu organisations responsible for the communal riots in India.
· Earlier during 1991-96 itself under presumably the direction of or to please Sonia Gandhi and cultivate the Muslim voters P V Narasimha Rao’s government in which Manmohan Singh was the Finance Minister and therefore held the cabinet responsibility two obnoxious acts were passed.
1) Places of Worship Act -1991 which sanctified the Hindu masjids that is, the temples which were destroyed and in those very places mosques were constructed . They were not to be touched according to this Act. As they were on the 15 Aug 1947.
2) The Waqf Act 1995 the Waqf Boards in different states can go on claiming any property as waqf property without any date as it final as in the Places of Worship Act . The Waqf Boards are claiming anything they like for eg: 1500 year old temple in Tamilnadu , the site where the Allahabad High Court building is situated, the entire village in Bihar and some villages in Telangana near Hyderabad , and in Karnataka recently.
7. P V Narasimha Rao, former Prime Minister passed away in Delhi on 23 Dec 2024. Dr Man Mohan Singh was then Prime Minister heading he United Progressive Alliance (UPA) coalition government of India. The UPA and PM Manmohan Singh were under the direction of Smt Sonai Maino Gandhi ; heading the National Advisory Council. The deeds of Narasimha Rao, who inducted the former government servant, the eminent economist as his Finance Minister ( 1991-96), was not allowed to be cremated in Delhi; worse still his dead body was not allowed to be let in the Congress Party office for people to see and pay respects to him. Sonia ji was the Congress President, the party which Narasimha Rao served for over fifty years. Man Mohan Singh, as Prime Minister and beneficiary of PV did not say a word, obviously afraid of displeasing his current patron and master. The mother-son-daughter trio and their Congress are glorifying their faithful karma karta - a noble soul.
8. To conclude , Sri Man Mohan Singh an extremely talented economist and a most loyal executive of his masters - Sri P V Narsimha Rao during 1991-96 and Sonia Maino Gandhi during 2004-14. He was so self-effacing that when Gandhi tore to pieces a copy of the ordinance that the PM’s cabinet issued as “ NONSENSE”. While the UPA government’s ministers shamelessly involved in corruptions, he would not drop them as they were his “minister’s” nominees. The achievement of his is the civil Nuclear Agreement with the USA. (1700 words)
