Former Prime Minister and senior Congress leader Manmohan Singh on Monday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi "must always be mindful of the implications of his words and declarations", an apparent reference to Modi's earlier statement on the LAC row with China at the all-party meet which attracted much controversy. This is Manmohan Singh's first response on the Galwan valley face-off. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said, “At this moment, we stand at historic crossroads. And in our democracy that responsibility rests with the office of the Prime Minister. To do any less would be a historic betrayal of the people’s faith,” noted Dr. Singh, the two-time former Prime Minister.
