Dr. Manmohan Singh who served the country in many capacities including Chief Economic Advisor, Finance Secretary, Finance Minister and Prime Minister passed away after a brief illness at AIMS, New Delhi on 26th December, 2024 at the age of 92. It was Prime Minister Shri. P V Narasimha Rao who inducted Dr. Manmohan Singh as his Finance Minister in 1991 and that turned to be crucial for him and the country. He did not hesitate to open the Indian economy adopting the neoliberal policies as he believed that it is the right thing to tide over the crisis. The left parties who supported the UPA-1 government had to part ways when Dr. Manmohan Singh signed a nuclear deal with USA , a clear deviation from the foreign policy hitherto followed by India. Also it was at the fag end of his term in 2013, PFRDA was passed by Parliament supported by BJP. Dr. Manmohan Singh was a brilliant administrator and a clean and gentleman politician, respected by all. AIBDPA pays respectful homage to the departed leader and conveys heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and friends.
