Breaking: Prime Minister Passes Away
Former Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, has reportedly passed away at the age of 92 after a prolonged battle with illness.
Singh, who served as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014, is widely credited with implementing economic reforms that helped transform India into a global economic powerhouse. His first term saw significant economic growth, although his second term was marked by a slowdown in progress, which overshadowed some of his earlier achievements.
According to reports from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Singh was admitted to a hospital in New Delhi after losing consciousness at his home on Thursday. Despite efforts to revive him, he was declared dead.
India is now mourning the loss of one of its most respected leaders. Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared his condolences on social media, writing, “As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives.”
Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi also paid tribute, calling Singh a mentor and guide, adding that he had led India with great wisdom and integrity. “Millions of us who admired him will remember him with the utmost pride,” Gandhi stated.
Mallikarjun Kharge, leader of the opposition in the upper house of Parliament, described Singh as a visionary statesman, a leader of impeccable integrity, and an economist of unparalleled stature.
