Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress leader passed away in New Delhi at the age of 92. He was admitted to the emergency department of AIIMS hospital on Thursday evening, where he breathed his last.

Late Manmohan Singh served as India’s Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, leading the country for a decade with a focus on economic growth and development. Earlier this year, in April, he retired from his role as a Rajya Sabha member, marking the end of his illustrious political career.

During his tenure as Finance Minister from 1991 to 1996, under the leadership of then-Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, he played a pivotal role in shaping India’s economic trajectory. He is remembered as one of the key architects of India’s economic reforms, which ushered in a new era of liberalization, globalization, and economic modernization. These reforms helped dismantle the socialist-era policies and opened the Indian economy to the global market.

Known for his humility, intellect, and forward-thinking policies, he made significant contributions to India’s progress. His tenure as Prime Minister was marked by initiatives aimed at inclusive development, technological advancements, and global partnerships.

Condolences have poured in from across the political spectrum and beyond, with leaders and citizens remembering his legacy as a statesman who transformed India’s economic landscape.
