"Nehru's India" Remark By Singapore PM "Unacceptable": Government Sources

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had referred to India's first Prime Minister during an impassioned debate in the Singaporean parliament on democracy in a city-state.

India today reacted sharply to the Singapore Prime Minister's remarks on "Nehru's India" becoming one where "more than half of the MPs" face criminal charges and said it would "take up the matter".

"The remarks by the Prime Minister of Singapore were uncalled for. We are taking up the matter with the Singaporean side," government sources said today.
