The loss of India's former Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, was deeply felt across the nation. He was not just the architect of India's economic reforms but a beloved husband and father. The legend is survived by his wife and three daughters. Manmohan Singh passed away due to age-related medical conditions on December 26, 2024, at AIIMS in Delhi. Indian Congress members, along with Amit Shah, Narendra Modi and more, paid their last tribute to the legend.
Manmohan Singh was a living legend and a pillion of the current Indian National Congress. His death left a hole in the hearts of the people, and Rahul Gandhi was affected by the same.
