Favorite Poet:
Manmohan Singh’s favorite poet is Allama Iqbal. Manmohan Singh has worked to silence you through his 2 famous poems. Rajya Sab answered a question and said that ‘there is something that is not ours, Saddam is the enemy of our era’. Something similar was poetically optioned in the Lok Sabha when the then upgradationist Sushma Swaraj, attacking the Manmohan government, poetically said:
So don’t talk about your will, tell me why the caravan was left
I am not satisfied with secrets, I have a question about your leadership.
In response, Manmohan said:
I believe that I am not worthy of your sight.
So look at my passion, look at my wait
Well, Manmohan also wrote poems of some other poets on many occasions. For example, in 2013, in response to the debate of the thanksgiving movement on the address of the President of the Republic, he said that what is Mirza Ghalib’s poem, “What is the hope of faith in him? What is faith?”
