💨 Abstract

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, known for his consensus-building skills, intervened in 2005 to prevent disciplinary action against Jawaharlal Nehru University students who protested against him. He defended their right to protest, quoting French philosopher Voltaire, and the students were later let off with a warning. This incident showcased a different side of Singh, demonstrating his commitment to freedom of speech and expression.
