In India, Manmohan Singh was called the accidental prime minister and it was right. Manmohan had become the finance minister of the world’s largest democracy from an ordinary Indian citizen, but he never thought that he would ever become the prime minister. ‘Why? There were two main reasons for this – the first reason was that he was a Sikh – In 1984, Indira Gandhi was killed by her Sikh security guards, after which the massacre of Sikhs began in Delhi. The holy place of worship of the Sikhs, the Golden Temple, was attacked by the army, so the Nehru family disliked the Sikhs and the Sikhs hated the Nehru family and the Congress, so in these circumstances, the question of making a Sikh as the Prime Minister was raised by the Congress. The second prime ministership had been in the Nehru family for a long time.
After Rajiv Gandhi, his son Rahul Gandhi was ready, so why should anyone else be made the prime minister, but after winning the election in 2004, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi suddenly nominated Manmohan Singh as the prime minister of the coalition government. Along with Singh, Sardarji became the Prime Minister by accident, surprising the whole of India. Today, when the Indian politics of 2004 is analyzed, the historian is forced to believe that Rahul Gandhi’s The age was only 34 years at that time. Sonia Gandhi thought that Rahul Gandhi would not be able to run the coalition government due to his young age and inexperience. Secondly, he thought that he and his son would take over the party.
They will get majority in the next election and thus the power of the Nehru family will be returned to the Nehru family, but this plan of Sonia Gandhi could not work and Rahul Gandhi could not become the Prime Minister. However, now we come to the real issue. As soon as Manmohan Singh assumed power on 22nd May 2004, he gave his secretary a list of ten people and issued an order that these people can meet me and talk to me on the phone whenever they want. It had the names of ten top businessmen of India.
At that time, like in Pakistan, industrialists and businessmen were not considered good in India, they were called puppets of money and politicians, especially ministers, avoided meeting them, the secretary tried to explain politely. Manmohan Singh laughed hearing this and then said, “These businessmen are making India into India. These are our benefactors. If they don’t work, you will get paid.” And neither me nor normal A man will be able to eat his fill, so the doors of the Prime Minister of India should always be open to his benefactors.
After this order, the Prime Minister was always available for ten big businessmen for the next ten years, so we have to believe that today if India is a major economic power in the world or if it has 334 billionaires, it is the result of this small decision of Manmohan Singh. This decision was not sudden – Manmohan Singh first launched the Shining India project in 1992 as Finance Minister – he liberalized its economy – industries What was handed over to the private sector and its fruits are being eaten today by Narendra Modi and the people of India.
Manmohan Singh was truly a visionary man. He was born in Gah village near Chakwal. In 1947, his grandfather was killed by the Baloys. He was a 15-year-old boy at that time. Could not ‘His family was forced to migrate to India’ Early life was very difficult but the family continued to work hard ‘Manmohan Singh studied on scholarship throughout his life’ Studied at Oxford’ in international institutions Worked’ Returned to India in the 1970s and started working in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry’ became Chief Economic Adviser’ Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and Chairman of the Planning Commission’ Life was going well but in 1991 he A major shift came in life.
Narasimha Rao became the Prime Minister’ India was suffering from severe economic problems at that time and the Prime Minister wanted a finance minister who could think “out of the box” and at that time there was no one better than Manmohan Singh in the entire system. So Narasimha Rao made him the Finance Minister’ Manmohan Singh accepted this offer only on one condition and that was that the Prime Minister would let him work as he wished’ this condition was accepted’ at that time Mian Nawaz Sharif Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Sahib had started two works.
announced the construction of motorways and started liberalization of the economy. Manmohan Singh liked this approach. JN Dixit was the Indian High Commissioner in Pakistan at that time. At that time, the foreign reserves of both Pakistan and India were two billion dollars, that is, India’s treasury also had two billion dollars and Pakistan also had two billion dollars. Prime Minister went to and told them that a country six times smaller than us is competing with us economically and it is a sinkhole for us.
The Prime Minister asked him for a solution. Manmohan Singh’s answer was, “We have to create an economic constitution of India that no one can tamper with.” A formula should be made in which no change can be made for the next 20 years, then we will be able to develop again, otherwise we will not be able to feed the bread of a billion people. gave
After that, Manmohan Singh made an economic agenda for the next 20 years. The Prime Minister gathered all the stakeholders including the opposition in the Lok Sabha. Businessmen, industrialists, professors, bureaucrats and judges were also seated in the parliament. tried to tear each other’s throats, but finally everyone agreed on the 20-year economic agenda. This is a great achievement of Manmohan Singh. This one decision changed the fate of India.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the leader of the opposition at that time – he also respected Manmohan Singh and Manmohan Singh too – during Narasimha Rao’s time, the finance ministry increased the price of fertilizer by four rupees – farmers of India protested. The opposition raised this issue and turned the Parliament into a fish market. The media also started taking the blame of the Finance Minister. Manmohan Singh refused to reduce the prices. The Prime Minister came under public pressure and he When Manmohan Singh became the Finance Minister, he had taken a promise from the Prime Minister that he would not interfere in his work, but Sardar resigned and went and sat at home.
Prime Minister Narasimha Rao tried to explain to him, but he did not believe. “You see the perfection of Indian rulers and politicians.” Fertilizer prices were increased by the finance minister, the issue was raised by the opposition and the finance minister resigned due to the pressure of the opposition. But on the contrary, on the request of the Prime Minister, the Finance Minister went to his house and forced him to withdraw his resignation. After a long dialogue between Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh, it was decided that the Finance Minister will reduce two rupees from the increase. This will save the honor of both the government and the opposition and the farmers will also benefit’ Manmohan Singh reduced the price hike by two rupees the next day and thus the matter was settled because of Vajpayee.
You have read these two incidents, now answer with your hand on your heart if the present government in Pakistan has to sit down with today’s opposition and decide the agenda of Pakistan for twenty years, will they do it and the second question if our finance minister If Aurangzeb is resigning, will Umar Ayub or Imran Khan go to Mian Shahbaz Sharif’s request and convince him? Your answer will be no and because of this name we are behind in the global race today and India is far ahead of us and believe me we will not find people like Manmohan Singh and Vajpayee and Narasimha in our system. Rao will not produce big hearts till then we will continue to beg like this.
