Lee Hsien Loong, the Prime Minister of Singapore, said in a speech in the country's parliament that "Nehru's India" today has serious criminal accused sitting in Parliament, and counted Jawaharlal Nehru among the stalwarts of founding leaders of various countries who would find present-day politics very different from what they had experienced or envisaged. Mr. Loong was talking about the need to protect Parliament's dignity and standing by upholding democratic norms to create a virtuous cycle of good leadership and good governance.
