Manmohan Singh once threatened suicide after being told of complaints against Congress ministers
Former Chief Election Commissioner SY Quraishi shared that he reached out to Harish Khare, the Press Secretary for then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in 2012 to express concerns regarding "loose talk" from Congress ministers about the Election Commission's work. Quraishi recalled that Singh later told him, "Harish told me what you said. If that is what you think, I'll commit suicide." The former Prime Minister further emphasized the importance of the institution, stating, "EC is...soul of...democracy. If we lose that, we lose everything."
