Former Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh passes away at 92
New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh passed away at the age of 92. He was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) on Thursday after his health reportedly detoriated.
According to sources, Dr. Singh was brought to the hospital's emergency department around 8 PM. However, the specific reason for his hospitalisation has not yet been disclosed.
Dr. Manmohan Singh is widely recognized for his pivotal role in steering India’s economic liberalisation as Finance Minister in the PV Narasimha Rao government from 1991 to 1996. His economic reforms during that period marked a transformative era for the Indian economy.
Serving as Prime Minister for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014 under the UPA government, Dr. Singh has been a towering figure in Indian politics. Until earlier this year, he was a member of the Rajya Sabha, retiring in April after decades of public service.
