In the video, Diljit said a couplet about the late PM keeping silent in the face of hate, “Hazaaron jawabon se acchi hai meri khamoshi, na jaane kitne sawaalon ki aabru rakhe (My silence is better than thousands of answers, I don’t know how many questions I have to respect)”.

The singer reflected on the dignified manner in which Manmohan Singh lived his life and said, “Agar main unki life ki journey ki taraf dekhu, toh unhone itna saada jeewan jia hai (If I look at his life, he led a very simple one).” He added, “Agar unko kisi ne bura bhi bola, toh unhone kabhi ulta jawaab nhi diya. Halanki politics ke career me ye sabse mushkil kaam hai. (Even if someone spoke badly to him, he never replied back. However, this is the most difficult thing in a career in politics).”

Diljit also added in Hindi, “I think today’s youth should learn from it, I should too. We should focus on our goals even if people speak worst about us and try to distract us. The one who is speaking badly about us is also an avatar of God. You are being tested on how you react to it.”
