New Delhi: Comedian Kapil Sharma expressed his heartfelt condolences following the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who died at the age of 92 on Thursday. On X, Kapil shared a nostalgic photo from one of his meetings with Singh and wrote a tribute honoring India’s “finest leader.” He remarked, “India has lost one of its greatest leaders today. Dr. Manmohan Singh, the architect of India’s economic reforms and a symbol of integrity and humility, leaves behind a legacy of progress and hope. His wisdom, dedication, and vision transformed our nation. Rest in peace, Dr. Singh. Your contributions will never be forgotten.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed his sorrow over Singh’s death, stating that India is mourning the loss of one of its most distinguished leaders. In a post on X, he extended his condolences to Singh’s family, friends, and admirers, highlighting Singh’s humble beginnings and his significant impact as an economist and Finance Minister. Modi noted, “Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji and I interacted regularly when he was PM and I was the CM of Gujarat. His wisdom and humility were always evident. In this hour of grief, my thoughts are with his family, friends, and countless admirers. Om Shanti.”
Singh passed away on Thursday night due to age-related medical issues, as reported by AIIMS. He retired from the Rajya Sabha earlier this year after serving for 33 years. Born in Punjab in 1932, Manmohan Singh served as Prime Minister of India for two terms, from 2004 to 2014, after the Congress party’s victory in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections against the NDA led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He was succeeded by PM Narendra Modi in 2014.
