India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his heartfelt condolences on the passing of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, describing him as one of the country’s most distinguished leaders. Dr. Singh, who served as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, was widely respected for his economic expertise and his efforts to improve the lives of the Indian people.
PM Modi recalled his interactions with Dr. Singh during his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat, praising his wisdom and humility. “We would have extensive deliberations on various subjects relating to governance,” PM Modi said, highlighting Dr. Singh’s insightful interventions in Parliament and his strong imprint on India’s economic policy.
Dr. Singh’s passing has been met with an outpouring of grief from across the political spectrum. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra described him as a “uniquely dignified gentleman” who remained committed to serving the nation despite facing unfair criticism.
As the country mourns the loss of this distinguished leader, PM Modi’s tribute serves as a reminder of Dr. Singh’s enduring legacy and his contributions to India’s growth and development.
