Manmohan's sister says an astrologer had predicted it all!
The younger sister of Prime Minister-designate Manmohan Singh on Thursday said an astrologer had predicted about 40 years back that her brother would hold "some top post".
The younger sister of Prime Minister-designate Manmohan Singh on Thursday said an astrologer had predicted about 40 years back that her brother would hold "some top post".
Amarjit Kaur, who is married to cloth merchant Charanjit Singh Sahni and lives in posh Vasant Vihar locality, told reporters that she came to know about the prediction from her father Gurmukh Singh.
Kaur said the astrologer had also said that their parents would not live long to see the glory of Singh.
"The entire family became emotional when we heard the news that Manmohan will be India's next Prime Minister. I along with my husband had gone to Dehra Dun to attend a family function when we came to know the good news," she said.
The family friends and relatives thronged the residence of Amarjit Kaur to congratulate her over the appointment of Manmohan, popularly called "Papaji" by the family members.
Praising Gursharan Kaur, wife of Manmohan, she said that her sister-in-law devotes time to recite Gurbani and cooking.
Kaur said her brother is a "broadminded" person as was evident from the fact that his two daughters were married in Hindu families. The third daughter is unmarried and is pursuing studies abroad.
"My brother is a straightforward and honest man and no one in the family dares to ask for favours from him," she said.
