Vishwanath Pratap Singh, former Prime Minister of India from December 2, 1989 to November 10, 1990 died last Thursday at age 77, a High Commission of India press statement said.
Singh was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh and served as the Chief Minister of that Indian state. He also held various portfolios as a minister in the central government including Finance and Home.
A condolence book will be open at the High Commission in Church Street for two days beginning tomorrow between 10am and 12 noon.
I am curious to know why SN have put this article on their website and yet they do not appear to have covered the massacre in Mumbai last week. A massacre where nearly 200 Indians and foreigners were slaughtered simmultaneously at more than half dozen places in the city.
I even sent an email to the editor about this yet that appeared to have been ignored.
Nevertheless I offer my sympathy on the demise of Vishwanath Pratap Singh, former Prime Minister of India even though he was not the best Prime Minister which India had.
Moderator’s note: Wire service reportage is never placed on the web edition. Many reports were carried in the print edition on the Mumbai attack. The condolence message was issued by the Indian High Commission in Georgetown and rewritten.
This was all over the CNN and other news report ,and what relevance it has to Guyanese weather or not the former Indian PM died. I guess you are just a set of idle people looking for anything to jump at.
SN looking for traffic/hit only, national news like that is on all other web/blog.
India land of the fore parents lost one of their former Prime minister, so sad. My Condolences!
Why SN?
This is not your kind of news…….
All of us blogheads knows this…..so why?
Hey Evil, how are you doing friend? Well as you can see Satish, Arnold and you have said something. Don’t worry there is interest just that the masses are busy withe the other articles.
I am not sure if you know this sagga but ALL INDIANS IN GUYANA TRACE THEIR ROOTS BACK TO INDIA and most are pleased to acknowledge this.
If you do not care for your roots then that is up to you.
I may be born in Guyana and I may be Guyanese but I AM MORE THAN THAT.
Far from being idle, I am running my own business here in the UK however I do have great affection for my mother country (GUYANA) and that is why I take time out to visit this wonderful news website.
