Former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh Passes Away | Tribute to a Visionary LeaderđŸ’”#shortsfeed #rip #manmohansingh
In a deeply sorrowful moment for the nation, former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has passed away. Known for his humility, intellect, and transformative economic reforms, Dr. Manmohan Singh leaves behind an indelible legacy as one of India’s most respected leaders.
This video provides detailed insights into Dr. Singh’s life, achievements, and contributions to India’s progress, including his tenure as Prime Minister and his role as a globally respected economist.
Former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh has died at the age of 92.
Singh was one of India’s longest-serving prime ministers and he was considered the architect of key liberalising economic reforms, as premier from 2004-2014 and before that as finance minister.
He had been admitted to a hospital in the capital Delhi after his health condition deteriorated, reports say.
Among those who paid tribute to Singh on Thursday were Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who wrote on social media that “India mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders”.
Modi said that Singh’s “wisdom and humility were always visible” during their interactions and that he had “made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives” during his time as prime minister.
Priyanka Gandhi, the daughter of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and a Congress party member, said that Singh was “genuinely egalitarian, wise, strong-willed and courageous until the end”.
Her brother Rahul, who leads Congress, said he had “lost a mentor and guide”.
Singh was the first Indian leader since Jawaharlal Nehru to be re-elected after serving a full first term, and the first Sikh to hold the country’s top post. He made a public apology in parliament for the 1984 riots in which some 3,000 Sikhs were killed.
But his second term in office was marred by a string of corruption allegations that dogged his administration. The scandals, many say, were partially responsible for his Congress party’s crushing defeat in the 2014 general election.
Singh was born on 26 September 1932, in a desolate village in the Punjab province of undivided India, which lacked both water and electricity.
After attending Panjab University he took a master’s degree at the University of Cambridge and then a DPhil at Oxford.
While studying at Cambridge, the lack of funds bothered Singh, his daughter, Daman Singh, wrote in a book on her parents.
Join us in paying tribute to this great leader who served the nation with unwavering dedication. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
