The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has expressed profound condolences following the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who died at 92. In a tribute posted on X, the RSS acknowledged Dr. Singh's rise from a modest background to hold the nation's highest office.
The organization conveyed its sympathies to Singh's family and admirers, highlighting his notable contributions as an economist that would remain etched in the nation's memory. They urged the almighty to grant 'sadgati' to the departed soul.
Singh passed away at AIIMS, Delhi, due to age-related health issues, after losing consciousness at home. His remains will be at the All India Congress Committee's (AICC) Delhi headquarters for public homage. The last tributes are scheduled for Saturday, with prominent leaders to attend. Singh, who initiated the 1991 economic reforms as Finance Minister, will be cremated near Rajghat, where last rites for Prime Ministers occur.
Condolences have poured in from numerous political figures and dignitaries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi remarked on the national loss of a distinguished leader. The scheduled tributes reflect the country's recognition of Singh's enduring impact on India's economic landscape.
