Ratan Tata had courage to speak truth to power: Manmohan Singh

New Delhi, Oct 10: Former prime minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday described Ratan Tata as a stalwart of the Indian Industry and said he had the courage to speak truth to those in power.

“He was having the courage of speaking the truth to the men in power. I have fond memories of working very closely with him on several occasions,” the former prime minister said.

“I take this opportunity to convey my deepest condolences on this sad occasion. May his soul Rest in Peace,” Singh also said.

Tata Sons Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata, who played a key role in transforming the group into a global conglomerate, passed away on Wednesday night in Mumbai. He was 86. (PTI)
