Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister widely credited as the architect of India’s economic reforms, was cremated with full state honors at Nigambodh Ghat in New Delhi on Saturday afternoon. His daughter lit the funeral pyre in the presence of President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and senior Congress leaders.
The final journey of the former Prime Minister began from the AICC headquarters on Saturday morning, where Congress leaders paid tribute to their departed leader.
A flower-adorned vehicle carrying Manmohan Singh’s mortal remains departed from the Congress headquarters amid chants of “Manmohan Singh Amar Rahe.”
Earlier in the morning, his mortal remains were moved from his residence at 3, Motilal Nehru Road, to the AICC headquarters shortly before 9 a.m. They were kept there for about an hour, allowing top Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi, to pay their respects. Singh’s wife, Gursharan Kaur, and one of his daughters also laid wreaths and bid farewell to the statesman.
