在对印度人民院（Lok Sabah，即议会下议院）一次演讲的末尾，辛格发出了他的正式邀请 ： “ 能秉承着与我国板球运动员在（南亚）次大陆运动场上一样的体育精神在议会这一庄严殿堂共商国是，是多么美好的一件事啊！
At the end of a speech in the Lok Sabah, the lower house of India’s parliament, Singh issued his formal invitation. “How nice it would be to conduct our affairs in this august House with the same spirit of sportsmanship that our cricketers exhibit on the playing fields of the sub-continent,” he said.
