Diljit Praises Manmohan Singh’s Simplicity
Diljit Dosanjh expressed deep respect for Manmohan Singh during his Dil-Luminati Tour in Guwahati. Reflecting on Singh’s legacy, he highlighted the simplicity and humility with which the late leader conducted his life.
“If I look at his life, he led a very simple one. Even if someone spoke ill about him, he never answered back. This is, however, the toughest thing to do in politics,” Diljit said, emphasizing the former PM’s ability to remain composed even in challenging situations.
Sharing A Memorable Quote
During his performance, Diljit shared one of Manmohan Singh’s famous quotes:
