In a heartfelt tribute, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge spoke of the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who passed away at the age of 92 in New Delhi on Thursday night. Kharge praised Singh as a visionary statesman and an economist of unparalleled stature, who played a crucial role in shaping India's growth and welfare policies. His legacy of inclusivity and progressive reforms will be forever cherished.
Singh, who was known as the architect of India's economic reforms, was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on December 26 for age-related medical conditions. Unfortunately, he suffered a sudden loss of consciousness and could not be saved despite the best efforts of the doctors. Kharge expressed his condolences to Singh's family, friends, and countless admirers, and wished them strength during this difficult time.
As the leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Kharge had the privilege of working closely with Singh during his tenure as Prime Minister. He described Singh as a gentle intellectual and a humble soul who embodied the hopes and aspirations of the nation. Kharge also spoke of his pride in being a part of Singh's cabinet as the Labor Minister, Railway Minister, and Social Welfare Minister.
Singh's contribution to nation-building was immense, and he will be remembered as a man of action rather than words. His policies of economic liberalization and rights-based welfare have transformed the lives of millions of Indians, lifting them out of poverty and creating a middle class. Kharge affirmed that Singh's legacy will forever be etched in the annals of Indian history.
The AIIMS bulletin announcing Singh's death mentioned that he was being treated for age-related medical conditions and had a sudden loss of consciousness at home. The news of his passing was met with sorrow and shock, as the nation mourned the loss of a visionary leader and an exceptional human being. Kharge ended his tribute by praying for Singh's soul to rest in eternal peace.
