Former Prime Minister of India and Congress leader Dr. Manmohan Singh passed away on Thursday (26 December) at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi. He was 92 years old.
Many celebrities including Kamal Haasan, Allu Arjun and Swara Bhaskar condoled his demise.
Actor-politician Kamal Haasan expressed his condolences on X (formerly Twitter), calling Dr Singh ‘one of the best sons of the country’. “India has lost one of its most distinguished statesmen and scholars. The demise of Dr. Manmohan Singh marks the end of an era in Indian politics. A calm, dignified man, he reshaped the country through his visionary economic and social policies. Haasan wrote, very few people have influenced the country’s progress with such far-reaching influence.
He said, “His policies as both Finance Minister and Prime Minister empowered millions of people, strengthened the fabric of Indian democracy and uplifted the most vulnerable. His governance was marked by a deep commitment to inclusivity and social justice, ensuring that India’s progress reached every corner of the society. His legacy will forever remain in the annals of Indian history, he will always be remembered as a leader who quietly but profoundly changed the course of the country. My heartfelt condolences to his family and the nation on the loss of one of our finest sons.
