Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the architect of India’s 1991 economic liberalisation, passed away at 92 on Thursday in Delhi. Admitted to AIIMS after fainting, Singh succumbed despite resuscitative efforts. A 7-day national mourning is set to be declared, with all government programs on Friday canceled. Congress has also suspended all events, including its Foundation Day celebrations, to honor his legacy. Singh, a two-time Prime Minister, was pivotal in shaping India’s economic trajectory, pulling the nation from bankruptcy. Tributes pour in as leaders across India remember his remarkable contributions to the country’s progress.
