I feel privileged and fortunate to have served as an MP and Minister of State for Tourism during the tenure of a stalwart leader like him. I always remember my conversations with him, the inspiration and knowledge I received from him. This is a great loss for our country. My deepest condolences to his family and his many fans. May your soul rest in peace Manmohan ji.
Sunny Deol wrote, “I am deeply saddened by the passing away of Dr. Manmohan Singh, a visionary leader who played an important role in the economic liberalization of India. His intelligence, loyalty and contribution to the development of the nation will always be remembered.
Sanjay Dutt wrote: Deeply saddened by the passing away of Dr. Manmohan Singh ji. His contribution to India will never be forgotten.
Swara Indianewsget wrote for Manmohan Singh, I remember when Manmohan Singh came to JNU. I was a student. I think at that time Singu Nandigram happened or maybe it was an anti-Naxal operation in Chhattisgarh. There was talk of protests on campus. There was a lot of security, but the left-wing student organizations AISU and DSU hung black flags on campus and tried to prevent the Prime Minister’s speech by raising slogans and waving black flags, and succeeded. These students were immediately expelled and given expulsion notices.
Swara added that we learned a few days later that the PMO had called the vice-chancellor and requested that the students not be expelled as it was within their democratic right to protest. What a contradiction in Indian politics, leadership and political environment today. This is proof why Manmohan Singh was a great Prime Minister.
Anupam Kher paid tribute to him by sharing a video. He also wrote, “Deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing away of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. I studied it for a year and a half for the film The Accidental Prime Minister. I feel like I spent so much time with him. He was naturally a good person. He was extremely honest, a great economist and extremely humble. Some may say he was not a wise politician. My condolences to his family. Om Shanti.
