Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid heartfelt tributes to his predecessor, Dr. Manmohan Singh, who passed away on Thursday night at the age of 92. Remembering him as one of India’s most distinguished leaders, Modi highlighted Singh’s wisdom, humility, and immense contributions to the nation.
Singh, revered as the architect of India’s economic reforms, rose from humble beginnings to become a respected economist and statesman. Reflecting on his legacy, Modi noted that Singh’s tenure as finance minister left an indelible mark on India’s economic policies.
In a post on X, Modi said, “His interventions in Parliament were always insightful. As our Prime Minister, he made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives.”
Recounting their interactions during his time as Gujarat’s chief minister while Singh served as the country’s prime minister, Modi recalled engaging in meaningful deliberations on governance and policy.
“His wisdom and humility were always visible,” Modi remarked, adding, “In this hour of grief, my thoughts are with the family of Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji, his friends, and countless admirers. Om Shanti.”
India mourns the loss of a visionary leader whose contributions to the nation’s progress will be remembered for generations.
