According to AIIMS, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh died Thursday night at the age of 92 from age-related illnesses.
Manmohan Singh was honored by India’s top leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu.
According to Murmu, Dr. Singh will be remembered for his national service and for his vital contributions to the restructuring of the Indian economy.
“Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji was one of those rare politicians who also straddled the worlds of academia and administration with equal ease,” Murmu said in a sympathy post on X. He had a significant influence on the transformation of the Indian economy in his many capacities in public administration. His commitment to the country, his impeccable political career, and his deepest humility will live on in his memory forever. We all feel a deep sorrow over his demise.
“I pay my respectful homage to one of the greatest sons of Bharat and convey my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and admirers,” said President Murmu.
India laments the passing of one of its most illustrious leaders, according to Prime Minister Modi.
“India laments the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji, one of its most illustrious leaders. He became a renowned economist after rising from modest beginnings. Over the years, he left a lasting impression on our economic policy while holding a number of government posts, including finance minister. His parliamentary contributions were also enlightening. He worked hard to make people’s lives better while serving as our prime minister,” he wrote on X.
After 33 years in the Rajya Sabha, Singh announced his retirement earlier this year.
Born in Punjab in 1932, Manmohan Singh was India’s prime minister for two terms, from 2004 to 2014. After the Congress defeated the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA in the 2004 Lok Sabha election, he took the oath of office for the first time. 2009–2014 was his second tenure in office. In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi replaced him.
