Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh breathed his last at AIIMS Delhi on Thursday evening. Born on September 26, 1932, in Gah, Punjab (now part of Pakistan), Dr. Manmohan Singh's early years were defined by remarkable academic achievements. Despite humble beginnings, he consistently excelled in his studies, ultimately earning a doctorate in economics from Oxford University.

In 1991, as India's Finance Minister, Singh was instrumental in steering the country through a severe economic crisis. He spearheaded transformative economic reforms that shifted India from a closed economy to a more open, market-driven system, laying the groundwork for the nation's future economic expansion.

“Robert Vadra has announced the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. There is no update from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). It is tragic that a member of the Gandhi family would rush to announce demise of a former Prime Minister and not wait for the official medical buletin. Is this what Dr Manmohan Singh gets for serving the family for decades? Dr Singh deserves respect and dignity. Shame on the Gandhis,” said BJP leader Amit Malviya.
