Congress fully behind Manmohan Singh, 'a man of integrity, probity': Sonia Gandhi

Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday described former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh as a man of integrity and probity, adding that the party would fight the summons issued to the latter in the coal blocks allocation scam legally. Gandhi, who led a solidarity march to Singh's residence, said the Congress is outraged at the news of summons being served to the former prime minister. Several senior Congress veterans also participated in the solidarity march that began from the AICC Headquarters at 24, Akbar Road. A special court in Delhi summoned the former prime minister, former coal secretary PC Parakh, industrialist Kumar Manglam Birla and three others in the coal blocks allocation case earlier on Wednesday.
